Nice golden color,small white head that had a good hang time then faded slowly to leave a slight bit of lace behind.The aroma was light malt some graininess and a slight sweet side,also a bit of a lemony citrus thing going on as well.Light malty taste with some mild citrus in the middle and finishes up with some mild hop bitterness.Not bad,in fact i’m going to have to go against the grain on this one.

Tap, Wroclaw. Smells vinegar and footsweat. Very interesting combination of odors. The beer looks like water, but doesn’t taste that bad. Actually it tastes the same as the first time, and I don’t understand why I tried it again. Has a lot in common with Koff from Finland or Norrlands Guld from Sweden. All too bad.

Golden in color with a small white head that quickly disapates. Sweet malt aroma. Flavor is sweet,fruity, not clean yet not entirely funky.

This $2.39 bottled brew from Traverse City, MI poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized white colored mostly diminishing bubbles that left behind a carbonated transparent weak orange colored body. The aroma was smooth with mild bready malt hop notes. The mouth feel was tingly crisp and clean from start to finish. The flavor was malty hoppy and contained a slight orange note.

Bottle: Pale yellow orange with no head, grainy taste and texture, weak body, unpleasant aftertaste, ack.

From a 500ml. brown bottle with no freshness date. Made a decent appearance, poured a highly carbonated golden with a large foamy white that quickly settles into a sticky thin lacing. Had a grassy and grainy aroma with some stale yeastiness. A crisp, lightish medium bodied mouth feel, average drinkability. Bland tasting, a pale grainy maltiness with a subtle grassy hop bitterness and a dry, yeasty, malty finish. It least this was cheap enough, not much else to recommend it.

Bottle in FL. Poured an amber color with a small frothy white head that diminished quickly with some lacing. Moderate grassy grain aroma. Medium body with a thin texture. Same grass hop flavor with a short finish. Worth having once.

Underachieving beer for the price of individually-sold pint. Has similar qualities (appearance, taste, aroma, and color) as your typical mass-produced American pilsners. Does have a slightly better taste and higger alcohol content.
