zach8270 (1404), Henrietta, New York, USA Mar 20, 2006 (bottle - 500 ml) Mildly hazy yellow pour with a thin and fizzy white head that fades quickly. Aroma is kind of sweet with a grainy smell under the sweetness. Some stale hops perhaps. Taste has a fair amount of sweetness in it at the beginning with a malty middle and a dry and bitter hop finish. Kind of grainy and grassy at the end. Watery but surprisingly refreshing. haukur (663), Reykjavik, Iceland Sep 15, 2005 an ok pilsner, nothing to shout about, nothing really going on here but I wasnt expecting anything, drinkable beastdog75 (329), Brick, New Jersey, USA Jan 3, 2005 Not a very pleasant brew, tasted like a "sub-premium" American brand. I would best describe this brew as "soapy" in the aroma and flavor. Grainy, husky, slightly skunky, with grassy bitterness in finish. JF_GRIND (1205), Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 15, 2004 Another Eastern Euro bottle of beer that I knew nothing about before consuming. the label gives me assumption this was once the "beer of Polish kings". Further study of the label tells me beer is brewed by Carlsberg/Okocim. After popping the cap I’m greeted with a wet rag aroma. Piast pours a yellow dilluted color with some bubbling into the glass. Flavor is creamy, chalky East Euro swill with a corn alcohol aftertaste. Is this what young Polish drinkers prefer in a pilsner? This beer reminded me of Coors Henry Joseph’s, a beer of my youth. tsarman (794), Northern, New Jersey, USA Oct 7, 2004 Decent beer. Smooth and not the bad bitterness of a lot of pilseners. Sweet like a malt liquor. Also during my "buy cheap things that come in individual bottles" trip to the liquor store.
