Can, 500 ml, 14.5P
Appearance: Pours orangy, gently carbonated Lager body with thick white frothy head, a bit rocky in structure with fair lacing, a small froth lasts on the beer surface for a long time. Body hue is average. Definitely not red as the name says.
Aroma: Chalky, accidic, dust, dull, alcohol is perfectly hidden under thid aroma, typical and characteristic aroma denoting rather a good quality Polish Strong Lager beer. A hint of orange peel, later on a very gentle alcoholic nose, some citrus fruits.
Flavour: Front is sweet, kind of fruity, some grapes, lively on palate, accidic and almost harsh at finish. The load of sweetness is quite heavy, but therefore it is well blanced with high content of hoppy bitterness and lively carbonation on palate making the beer more lively, but sharp and a bit slaty at finish too. Definitely not boring, lively and resulting from its sharp hoppyness also in a fruity nose. Very interesting, unusuall, original and worth try, something different from a mass. Alcohol is perfectly hidden.
Palate: Body is almost medium, texture is between wattery and oily, carbonation is lively on palate. Finish feel is aromatic and salty.

Surprisingly delicate for such a strong beer. Alcohol is barely noticeable. Color is golden (red is not a color), and head is white and minimal.

Gold with very fine spec floating, fine average head. Creamy nose with light buttery character bad grainy touch, alcohol on top. Medium bodied with light sour character that possibly indicate infection. Best before Oct 2006 so tried well ahead.

UPDATED: JUL 31, 2006 I agree, the colour is copper-like. The beer itself was OK - not very carbonated, little hints of alcohol. Pretty decent for a strong lager. Head partially lasting, no ugly aftertaste, which is frequent with Polish strong ones. Decent, worth giving a try

The first!!! Light copper is the actual colour - not red. It is slightly malty, with a hint of caramel. Kind of watery. Unexciting, but typically well-made.
