Bottle . Pours gold with smallish white head. Fruity, malty aroma with light alcoholic touch. Malty, medium bodied lager rather on sweeter side. Weak hop character. Plain, clean. Thanks Doug.

Bottle. Pours a gold body with a small white head. THe aroma is somewhat cookieish, grassy, and typically light. Sweet flavour with toasty maltiness and some alcohol warmth. Mediocre.

Bottle shared with the usual suspects - courtesy of DougShoemaker. Golden yellow with a tiny white head. Aroma is malty with some vague fruity notes. Flavour is quite sweet and bland. It’s OK (heh!), inoffensive but nothing special.

Bottle shared by Dougshoemaker on Canada Day 2006 - cheers Doug! Very nice fruity aroma. Yellow, no head. Bland light malt taste, light hops at the end. Compared to the pils I had right before this, this was bland and forgettable. Cleaned the palette though!

Bottle (500ml). Shared with GregClow, tupalev, DougShoemaker, mds, Radek and others - DougShoemaker’s bottle. Clear bright gold with a small white head. Aroma is very sweet, honey and fruit, light sweet grain, even a bit of spice, but mild and pretty characterless. Taste of sweet cereal grain and stale papery hops, it’s actually a bit funky, and nowhere near as sweet as the aroma. Mouthfeel is ... well nothing much, really - maybe a little flat. I only took away "sweet" and "ehh" from this.

Less than OK actually... the LC version was labelled Export (assuming Polish tastes would reject it?) and it was a chore to finish 500 ml, being rather macro-like in the mouth feel. Not undrinkable, just Okicim’s best offering

Average pilsner. Golden with little head and a grassy aroma with light hops. Flavour was a tad thin and basic.

Gold appearance – thick head goes away fast- butter nose – sweet butter minimal taste – medium body- aftertastes smooth creamy
