This lager poured a clear medium yellow colour with a soapy white head. To the nose there is scents of pine, hopps, perfume and bread. First taste is a little watery with a slight taste of smoke. Flavours of sweet malt and a little hopp biternes in the finish.

Aug 27, 2008 50 cl (brown) bottle, ’bbe’ Oct 08. Clear light coppery with a great fizz and a rich white foam. Nose of hops, dark bread, a hint of raisins, a bit funky. Flat, light malty taste; strange, incoherent texture with a soapy finish.

Aug 19, 2008 At least it’s 7% and affordable. Besides that, not a whole lot going on here. Malty and Polish. Yay.

Aug 17, 2008 16/08 0.5 l can from a gas station near Warszawa. Poured deeper golden body with small head. As usual, lemony and somewhat grass hopped aroma with flowery malt background, nice but quite weak. Alcohol can be hinted just a little bit as well. Flavor is pretty cute, malty with some interesting flavors besides honey and flower, like let’s say butter biscuit. Also some lemon hops are present here, but unfortunately everything is so weak it can’t simply be enjoyable. Pretty short and slightly alcoholic finish. Hm, it’s not bad for sure, but I’ve had few better ESLs those days, unfortunately this one has got much more potential than it offers us.

Aug 16, 2008 Can, 0.5l, 15°,7.1% courtesy of heavy who brought it from Poland (thanks!)
Poured a small white head that went away at a medium-slow pace on top of a slightly darker golden body. Malty nose, a honeyish and grainy oily concoction with just a touch of alc. Sweet malty taste weighed a bit by alcohol. Caramel? Biscuit? Light maaaybe lemony hop maybe fruity. An inconspicuous taste with that dull slightly lemony hop tingling the tongue in front of a heavy , dull malt flavored water with some alc. Hum.
