Style: Strong Pale Lager/Imperial Pils
Warka, Poland

Serve in Lager glass

500ml bottle in a shaker. Pours golden with an off-white head. Aroma of light bread/dough malts with a little light hops. Flavor nothing special. Not as light as I was expecting. Not the best beer.

Polish malt-liquor style. I have had a surprising amount of these, it seems every Polish company makes one, this one is average.

Been to the Brewery, great place, nice strong wheat taste, not one of the better Tyskie Beers

Le liquide a une robe cuivrée. La mousse est fugace. Le nez est faible sur des notes maltées douces et très peu excitantes, voire même rachitiques. Les houblons sont littéralement introuvables. Le goût permet à des notes maltées de s’établir avec inconsistance. Les houblons et leur caractère amérisant sont à jamais perdus dans cette mer de sirop malté. En bouche, sans grande surprise, le liquide est peu bruyant avec sa structure squelettique et sa faible consistance. En finale, la douceur du malt est réveillée par un alcool tiède et très peu intense.

Bottle. Pours a dark gold/somewhat copper color w/ a decent sized head. Aroma mostly of malt. Analogous flavor. Light to medium bodied w/ some carbonation. Average.

Draught at the restaurant in Szczecin castle. light caramel colour with a thin head. Flavour has wine and honey notes. Tastes of alcohol. Texture is oily.

01-Jun-08 (500-ml bottle: Purchased 12-May-08 for $2.09 at Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa, CA) Unexpectedly dark, this beer pours a clear amber body topped by a small, off-white head that quickly settles to a ring. The beer smells sweet, sugary and corny with a bit of toastiness. But on the palate, corn and caramel are very strong and the beer tastes even sweeter, as if corn syrup were added to the beer. Loads of honey and brown sugar, wow, this is tough to drink. Some sweetened tea as well. Medium in body, but much of that is probably residual sugars. Carbonation is medium. Well, the neck label states that this is a unique beer, and it certainly is. But unique isn’t always a good thing. Way too sweet -- and artificially sweet at that -- to be enjoyable.

2/13/11. 500mL bottle. Dark amber pour with a small film of fizzy white head. Bitter metallic apple juice aroma with an extremely sweet apple flavor with hints of burnt, caramelized sugar. Meh.
