Bottled(500ml). –from Pam supermarket in Trieste, Italy.
Clear golden coloured, small white head, vegetable nose. Weak aroma of malt and sweet corn. Strong bitter finish.Just another „great“ Van Pur beer.

Brown 500ml bottle found close to the Polish Centre in Hammersmith, London. Best before date had been rubbed out, so most likely brewed to be consummed before I drank it last night (26th Dec 2006). Golden with a fine white head, it had an aroma which hinted at barley and wheat (not sure I know the difference really). the taste was just like the smell, but even weaker. The mouthfeel was also poor. I have tried a few Polish beers now, and have more in the garage to review, this has been the worst so far.

Bottle. Very weak beer. Small fizzy head and pale body. Weak malt flavor and watery finish. Just weak all around.

Can. Dead colour, and almost zero aroma. Fast collapsing weak head. Weak body, very forgettable.

Can. Nice head with good duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are sweet malt and hops.

can from Michau - dzieki! Clear pale yellow, small white head. Fruity nose. Very watery, hardly any flavour at all, strange dry palate, shy malt and hop flavours in the far background.

Cam from supermarket in Hungary. Yellow color with small white head. Corny aroma. Taste, again corn with weak bitter finish. Crap.

Hungary 2010, can. Dark golden amber with a bubbly head. Floral grain aroma with a bigger body than expected. Pretty malty sweet with a large noble hop presence.

(500 ml can, Kaunas) Watery crap, no more no less; some hints of flavour, some hints of skunkiness, but what else can you expect for 51 cents on-sale at BravoAlco? :)

Can 50cl.
Clear light yellow orange color with a small to average, frothy - fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, grain, overripped apple, sugar, paper. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is medium to light, texture is watery to oily, carbonation is soft. [20090626]

Bottle. Light lemon and barley malt aroma. Golden yellow with minimal head. Light sour mallt flavor - moderate acidity and carbonation - not much to this one.
