For .98 cents on clearance, I didn’t have high hopes for this one, other than I hoped it wasn’t a drain pour. Pours a clear gold with a thin effervescent head that fades away instantly. Smells like flat ginger ale. Flavour tastes like flat ginger ale with a horrible flat malt aftertaste...i suspect that this beer wasn’t very good when fresh and this bottle must be well past it’s date.

Yellow lager like colour. Ginger, sugary sweetness, soap, very light maltiness. Test of 14.04.2007.

Sehr erdiger Geruch, mir ist da drekt das Urwaldhaus im Kölner Zoo eingefallen. Schmeckt tatsächlich wie Limonade, mal süß, mal sauer, nur im Nachgeschmack kommt Bier durch. Erfrischungsgetränk. Test vom 30.1.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 6,6,6,4,5,6

UPDATED: OCT 3, 2008 Dark gold body with a thin eggshell colored head. The aroma is light ginger ale with some carrots. The taste was sweet ginger ale with some light notes of Bit O Honey candy. There isn’t much to this light and sweet beer. Decent.

Horrible, Medicine oily texture what tastes like flat ginger syrup. Virtually no head. Light yellow/amber body. Heavy sweet taste from start to finish. Little to no carbonation. Retired for a reason.

Rated: 26 November 2006 Bottle green 500 ml, Ginger beer? Thank you, no head, no aroma - except for the artificial ginger flavours, palate below zero, awful repulsive and parched aftertaste.

Poland’s version of Miller Chill, perhaps? Sweet and artificial ginger aroma with some grainy undertones. Pours gold with a thin white head. Flavor has some sweet and spicy ginger at first then quickly fades to a sweet and mildly skunky grainy maltiness. Sweet on the tongue with a lingering spiciness.

This was really bad, I thought. Way too sweet, tastes like flat ginger beer (not ginger BEER but the "ginger beer" soda pop sold in the UK or some Caribbean markets in the U.S.). Yellow. Bad beer, a light sense of being a standard pilsner. Unredeemable. The fact that the label says "Podroz Smaku" made me think the beer was designed to "smack you" like a woman scorned.

bottle purchased @ sam’s in chicago. i guess you could call this the polish raddler/shandy but with ginger ale instead of lemonade. that being said it’s not so bad but not great either. it’s real sweet but does taste like ginger soda with an underlying euro pils flavor. it is what it is.

bottle. Looks all right. Sweet nose. Sweet andf gingery flavours, spicy. Not very beery, but wuite refreshing and interesting.
