Hevelius Kaper

Brewed by Browar w Elblagu (Zywiec Group/Heineken)
Style: Strong Pale Lager/Imperial Pils
Elbląg, Poland

Serve in Lager glass

Golden amber, tiny head, not lively, kinda looks like a very non-viscous scotch... Notes of apple, grass, sweet pale malts... Strong flavor, grass, biscuits... very full bodied, kinda slick, tough to drink in any quantity... too much weight, flavors are ok...

Good strong. I personally prefer the Warka over this, although this is almost 2% higher abv.

Bottle sample at a tasting, thanks Zvikar, clear light orange colour, fruity.

Bottle. Moderate malt and hop aromas of grain, milk chocolate and cooked orange, with hints of brown sugar, wet cardboard and alcohol. Head is small, fizzy, white with no lacing and is fully diminishing. Color is clear medium amber. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes lightly sweet, acidic and bitter. Palate is medium, oily with a soft carbonation and a lightly astringent and moderately alcoholic finish. A good potent Strong Pale Lager, but not exactly what I’d call well balanced.

bottle @ Whole Foods. copper, thin white head. aroma, light floral nose, caramel malts, pale malts and some dark fruits. flavors, similar to aroma, caramel/pale malts, mild hop bitterness with a boozy finish, a mix of bittersweet finish, herbal undertones, dark fruits, maybe some figs. Crisp finish.

A: Pours a nice orange hue small head. No retention or lace. S: Nice sweet fruit aromas. Apples with some strange spice. Hints of caramel and toffee. T: Apples and pears. Yeasty and spicy. Caramel, toffee, and brown sugar. I expected zero actually sort of enjoyed it. M: Medium in body, smooth, tasty for a Polish Lager. D: Not bad overall.

The armoma is very hoppy. Its appearance is a pale gold and has medium levels of froth. Tastes somewhat bitter but very good with something to eat on the side. The texture is fairly thin, but it is very fizzy. Not the best Polish beer, but not bad. Definitely good as a side to food.

Bottle sample at a tasting. Thanks zvikar. Clear deep golden with a white head. Sweet grainy aroma with alcohol, caramel, honey and light fruity hints. Sharp alcoholic sweet flavor with a slightly drier finish. Light-medium-bodied. Hard to drink.
