Sep 22, 2009 Pint can. Pours clear light gold with a 2 finger long lasting white head. The nose is grain, sweet malt, a touch of iced tea and grassy hops. The taste is biscuits, grain, grass, light honey and citrus zest. Medium semi-creamy mouthfeel. An OK beer.

Oct 15, 2008 Can from Tops in Tempe as Zagloba Premium Beer. Brassy gold color with a large frothy white head. Grainy, spicy aromas. Medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is sweetish caramel with very little hop to balance. Ok, but that’s it.

May 18, 2007 Lightly hazy straw-gold brew, thin, beady head. Funny label. Sweet straw, coldwater malt aroma. Graham sweetness, black pepper, some funny over-sparged flavors, moderate astringency. Finishes with a spittable grain bitterness and a clinging unpleasant sweetness. I search in vain for a lager gem surpise from the Soviet Bloc. Picked this up for $2.29/500 ml at Rosemont Liquors, Rosemont, IL near O’hare.

Feb 4, 2007 Strong aroma yet grainy flavor with dominating hoppiness. A pleasant yet rich and balanced taste where 6% alcohol overshadowed by vriety of flavors and is not as upfront as in some other pilsners. Slightly weak finish and plain aftertaste. Deffinately a great Polish beer.

Mar 1, 2006 Mid-golden bodied with extremely light carbonation. A short, white head fades fast but clings to my Pils glass in a watery lace. A light hint of pine to a grassy, grainy, herbal aroma. Buttery palate carries honey-sweetness with light, bitter hopping. Not a bad beer, and it’s literary reference has sparked in me an interest in the work of Henryk Sienkiewicz. While it doesn’t seem like an easy read, I have added the 1999 film "With Fire and Sword" to my Netflix queue < src=http://www.ratebeer.com/images/smilies/14.gif& /> <font size=-4>Single bottle from <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=1 cellar.<font size=-1>

Feb 2, 2006 I’m puzzled somewhat by the two Zagloba listings. My bottle, purchased in a Polish neighborhood yesterday, is definitely fresh. But the label lists the abv as 6%, more akin to the older version of the beer.
Definitely a good Bohemian Pilsener. Golden with a creamy white head and steady beading, it exhudes an aroma of bready malts and light grassy & floral hops. Creamy mouthfeel. The flavor is a smooth balance between the malts and the hops, finishing on a lightly sweet note.
