Rated: 21.11.2007
Can, 500 ml
Appearance: Pours clear, well filtered, perfectly amber, burned orange body with quite soft carbonation, there is not a big head and it is quickly decreasing and diminishing. Body is light to medium, head is fizzy to foamy, there is no lacing. Body looks very nice and creates really good impression, bud head is very weak and quickly diminishing.
Aroma: Aroma is generally weak, sweetness, sugary, syrupy, malty, rather heavy, suggesting heavier beer in terms of alcohol and gravity (extract).
Flavour: Sweet but not too sweet, malty, malted barley, clear soft water, a hint of roasted, burned Munchen malts and traces of aromatic hops without a shade of typical bitterness, that makes the flavuor original and quite unique, a hint of roasted grains, flavour is surprisingly good, there is a nice touch of fresh carbonation on palate making this beer more lively to escape from the heavy, sweet, syrupy maltyness. Finish duration is short to average.
Palate: Body is medium, texture is sweet, syrupy but lively due to lively carbonation on palaet, finish feel is a bit accidic but generally sweet, light alcoholic, lightly accidic. Finish feel is a bit accidic and sweet.

Canned(500ml). –from Geant Briancon as Van Pur 8.3%. Pours a pale golden coloured with small white head and malty alcoholic nose. No carbonation at all. The aroma is sweet malty and slight hoppy with faint apple notes. Nothing special but quite drinkable for a polish beer with high alcohol content.
