COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The premium quality beer brewed from crystal clear mountain water. Its characteristics are the sophisticated taste combination and the gentle bitterish taste with hop aroma, light golden hue, considerable foaming power, and good carbon dioxide saturation. A malty, well-known lager from Poland.

Invitingly bright golden beer with nice head. Sweet malty aroma. Very good grainy malt flavoring with hint of citrus edge. Very nice.

Great beer but I had to re-rate since my beer exp went up few levels. I love the creamy mid hopy taste with great drinkability .

Oakes (9994) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - NOV 3, 2002
Full gold; lots of malt on the nose. Ditto the palate, with a good dose of Lublin hops. Feels like drinking a nice Franconian hell and then a soft, Bohemian-esque hit of hops (albeit Lublin) comes in. Nicely balanced.

Nate (3026) - Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 10, 2002
UPDATED: JUL 27, 2005 Nicely balanced Polish pils. Have had it from bottle and tap - tap is better. Nice malty notes with big Bohemian pils flavor. Crisp hops with bitter finish and after.

Not a bad lager. A little skunky. Slightly bitter, full head.

Clear, light golden, quickly dissapating head . Nose of clean malt. Very clean, drinkable, refreshing with a subtle hop bite. Balanced, well crafted but bland.
