Flavor and Palate : Medium bodied. Mineral like frontal feel with golden soft malt. Grainy finish. Alcohol only shows up in aftertaste. Its nice to see that Poland still can brew traditional proper Mocne.

Can 500 ml, 14.1 P
Appearance: Pours perfectly clear but bright golden body colour with a moderate carbonation, head is frothy, initially medium, quite quickly ddecreasing to small and then disappearing in the similar way as in the case of Harnas 12 P, practically no lacing, head was regular white with some shades of gray.
Aroma: Quite unfresh front, mainly dull, sweetish, alcoholic-yeasty, not clean, not noble in terms of hops which seem to be slightly smelly, definitely not balanced as more superior Okocim Mocne, the unimpressive strong interpretation of weak and poor Harnaś 12 P.
Flavour: Watery, flat, thin, spoiled, extremely flat and nasty metalic aftertaste, mineral, like a regular mass produced poor bright lager being unhopped and loaded with some additional alcohol, again very nasty in terms of its shallowness with non-existant finish duration.
Palate: Body is medium, texture is wattery, carbonation on palate is moderate, finish feel is cloying and artificially dull, synthetic, flat, boring, another excrement from Carlberg Polska lowering the level of Polish mainstream of beers.

Golden colour, medium head. Malt aroma is significant, but the everpresent alcohol note spoils the fun completely. Like a watered (?, or maybe liquored) down version of Okocim Mocne, which makes its existence utterly pointless, especially when Okocim retired the great Palone.
