i was hoping this was a malt liqour but it was not. had it quite late in the evening but i do remember it being a light golden color with a barn hay aroma. it wasnt foul, just had a grainy bland taste to it with a hint or citrus.

A lot better than I expected. An orange appearance. The flavor is full of citrus. Somewhat cloying with the alcohol showing through in the finish. Kind of funky as well. Not bad.

Excellent Polish lager, surprisingly. Very robust sweet malt base witrh strong caramel and toffee notes...alongside some minor dried fruit/citrus juiciness/and (very minor) corn notes. Better than expected hop bite. Some unfortunate metallic aftertaste, but not overpowering. Good stuff that i would happily repeat!

Gold color. Straw aroma. Full bodied flavor of malt and hay. OK for what it is.

Deep gold, scarce small bead, small lasting white head.Nose is light pear/alcohol.Sweet foretaste,medium alcohol heat, medium hop finish I quite like this!!

pours an amber-copperish color with a tight small white head, the aroma is of sweet malts, caramel, taste is of mostly malt a little old and stagnet tasting, not bad i thought it would be worse.

Medium orange colored body with a thin white head. The aroma is walnuts, with carrots and some ginger bread. Interesting smelling brew. The taste is old caramel candy with some sweet potatoes. There is also some rich iced tea and a little bit of black pepper spice in the finish. The body is surprisingly thin for the mouthfeel. This is different.

I normally like central European strong lagers, but Hevelius is amiss. The half-liter bottle poured a golden orange without much head. Other reviewers had spices, caramel, and fruit. I got a highly hopped lager with heavy "alcohol" notes. This is a well made Steel Reserve, but not a well made beer.
