Krolewskie Mocne

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

Serve in Lager glass

Golen color with a off white fluffy head. Sweet malt, light floral hops and hint of alcohol in the aroma. Pleasent enough nose, but as it warms, some grainy aromas come out. Drier start, with a grainy a hopsack middle. Light metallic flavors later in the quaff. Flavors are just odd enough to make every gulp make me think of some other off flavor.

As one would expect form the standard Lager/Pilsner a transparent gold color with a massive white head that is also frothy in texture, as it slowly erodes the lace left behind forms a thin veil to cover the glass. Crisp somewhat sweet nose, lots of malt and the start sweet, malt laden and the top skinny in feel to the palate. Finish is briskly acidic, the hops apropos to the style and the aftertaste desert dry and a drinkable, but still just a run of the mill lager.

UPDATED: JAN 24, 2004 CAN: Light golden color with a decent white head. Taste is malts with an almost sour hoppy finish.

It quiet hard to find good strong lager and this was not promising much either. Small fizzy head, medium gold . Nicely aroma was better flowery-hoppy . Excellent drinkability , alcohol very well hidden , mild . You might forget what are you drinking .

Good strong beer. Maybe too bitter. Overall - not bad.

An unusuallywell balanced strong lager. Golden coloured. Full bodied and very bitter.
