Style: Premium Lager

Serve in Lager glass

Pours with a near-perfect head (doesn’t stay long enough) and a gold body with no visible carbonation. Soft wood and hops aroma. Flavour is heavy with caramel and a hoppy finish. Not bad balance for a lager, really, and I’d probably choose this one over a number of worse lagers out there.

Tin, 500ml from Mace Supermarket, Banbury.. Yellow straw with fizzed white head. Never too proud to see what,s available in these little corner shops and I’m pleased to have spotted this one. Yes it has the wet cardboard CO2 kick, but once this is over, there is a sweetish, light beer with a light caramel body and a lemonade hint in the close. Not great but certainly drinkable.

Originally rated September 2005. Best before 11/06/06 and bought at the LCBO. Labelled Zubr 1768 on the label and rated at 5.8% ABV. This Polish strong beer pours a golden colour with a touch of amber. The white head is bubbly and does not retain its shape too long. Patches of lacing are left though. The nose is pretty mild with small amount of hop (probably Saaz). Carbonation is very active with tiny bubbles. The taste has some bitterness to it from start to finish, but is mostly very smooth, just like its aftertaste. Slight grass and apples makes a comeback at the very end of its trail. Very, very smooth, with more grain malt then grass, which reminds me more of North American pils, then Euro pils. Good different Polish brew, but very smooth for a stronger one.

Can. It pours a clear, golden body under a finger-thick white head. Fruityness, grains and malty sweetness on the nose. Yellow apples and some pears. A hint of cooked vegetables. The flavor is on the fruity side, with some bitterness showing up towards the very end. A decent one, but not very interesting in any way. 120107

Not the best beer but still Ok taste for 6% alcohiol had from a no Bottle

Can. A clear yellow/golden colored beer, with a thick white head. The aroma of malts with some fruits. The taste is malty sweet with some bitter. The aftertaste is some sweet and a little bitter.

Can: 6% alc. Thanks to Fonefan: Medium to bigger white head, disappears slow and leaves a medium vast head. After a while the head is almost completely gone, just some thin cloudy pieces of lacing on top of a clear darker yellow colored beer with some orange tints. The smell is less typical than any average pils, guess this is due to the 1% more alcohol content. Smell some herbs, malts, light sweets, caramel, hint of fruit like light prunes with vanilla and butter. Taste is a more normal pils mix than the smell though not a regular mix of herbs, light fruity, grass, caramel, some light hints of hops and a low bitterness that turns more bitter towards the aftertaste, but still a medium bitterness. Malty herby caramel light fruity more bitter aftertaste. Low to medium carbo, pretty soft mouthfeel, low to more medium body and a texture between watery and creamy. Ok brew.

5.8% gold colour with no head, slight malt aroma, not much taste, ordinary lager.
