Label doesn’t say strong (only the cap), but the ETOH is 7%. Clear amber, with a massive head that laces well. Malty aroma, perhaps some corn as well. Malty and a bit raw. Medium body. Typical of a continental beer in a grain region.

Light amber color with a small white head. Sweet malty smell with some notes of sugar. Extremely malty taste. Almost overpowering. I’m enjoying it but if I had more than one of these in one sitting I’d probably like it less. Might drink again but I won’t seek it out.

Pours a bright amber orange body with no head. Aroma is malts and caramel. Taste is sweet malts and sugar.

500ml can. A rather malty aroma. Amber colour with short lasting white head. Flavour is caramelly and very sweet, which is to my liking. The slight alcohol tang is almost drowned in the sweet maltiness. Drinks very easily and is not too carbonated. Very malty palate with slight hoppiness at the end.

500ml can (Some Park Cafe, Warsaw)
Simple sweet lagery aroma. Deep orange, healthy head lasts a short while. Full sweet palate. Caramelly, and with a pleasant though slightly artificial hoppy bite. Well balanced lager, though some might find it too sweet. The sugar makes this quite palatable - certainly covers the 6.5% well. (4+:3:6-:2+:9+=2.4++)

50cl bottle poured into a lager glass. Medium amber with modest off-white head. Aroma is sweet malt. Flavor is heavy caramel, honey, and slight alcohol. Medium body, light carbonation, sweet finish. Probably the sweetest lager I’ve ever had.

500ml bottle: Dark golden colour with small head. Sweet malty aroma. Taste is similar with caramel and some spice. Alcohol noticeable. Not bad, not great.

Bottle. The aroma is very soft, only light malty. The white small fizzy head is very fast disappearing, the body is dark red. The beer tasted malty, light sweet and the finish tasted a little bit like glue. The body is medium strong with a lively carbonation.
