Reviewing again to compare with Namyslow and Lech, to see which is the best commercial Polish beer. Unfortunately Warka Mocne doesn't quite make the final 3.

Usual colour, smooth head with small bubbles, complex and subtle hoppy aroma, that seems sophisticated kind of.

Really impressive hops and quite light malt. I am detecting flavours of dates, figs, more dates and more figs. Mouth feel is ok but a little on the thin side.

When first poured, this tastes much better than after 5 minutes. It lacks the intense bitterness of a Namyslow and the flavour is more effervescent, uninteresting and kind of boring after a few sips.

So Namyslow is the best commercial Polish pilsner by far. If you don't belive me, drink it now. This is the 2nd best. Ciao.

Clear pale gold body with a large white head and a fair amount of lacing. Moderately sweet, grainy aroma with a touch of spice in the background. Taste stays focused on the malts; not complex but nothing unpleasant. Can only presume the use of noble hops that were more floral than herbal. Clean, slightly sweet aftertaste. Decently carbonated, medium bodied mouthfeel.

500 ml green bottle, shared with my son, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5.6%. Pale golden colour, large to moderate white head. Malty ang grassy aroma. The flavour has some malty sweetness and tolerable herbal hops. Decent body for the style.

Perla Export has a thick, white head and a clear, golden appearance, with lazy bubble streams and minimal lacing. The aroma is of cracker. The flavor is of sweet cracker and low-level, grassy bitterness. The body is medium, and Perla Export finishes crisp.

Undated can; drank 5/25/22 @ the Yarchives.

See-through dull orange/yellow appearance.

A rough pour yielded a big white head; a thick curtain of tree-rung lace.

Corn, mild soap & faint wheat notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Corn, caramel & faint wheat flavors.

A middle of the road Euro lager; it will do in a pinch.

Clear yellow body with two fingers of eggshell white foam. Aromas of lightly dank, very skunky and decently pale euro hops, grass and cereal malt are in the background. Taste is classic skunky euro pale lager, malt is one dimensional with cereal notes, hops have grass and light dankness, but overall it dries out and has limited yeast character that helps recover from disaster, one of the better cheap euro macros. Feel is light, very thin, pretty skunky and pale, with but again has a dry finish that is pleasing to match the taste.

Perla Browary Lubelskie S.A. "Perla Export"
16.9 fl. oz. green glass bottle, coded "10G2"
$1.99 @ Roger Wilco, Pennsauken, NJ

Notes via stream of consciousness: It's got fingerprint-through-the-glass clarity in a deep golden body beneath an almost three inch head of creamy white foam. Subsequent pours have shortened the head but it's still holding tightly. I hope the lacing is just as good. The aroma expresses sweetish malt that's a little bit grainy, but probably suggests adjunct as well. It's lightly fruity with apple as well, and a bit herbal with hops. not bad so far! On to the flavor... it's pretty much exactly as the aroma suggests it will be with a fuller maltiness. I almost forgot, it almost skipped by me, this wasn't skunked? How did that happen? It can't be that they're using pre-isomerized hops, could it? In any case, it wasn't skunked so there's that. It seems fairly nicely balanced and it finishes dry. It doesn't seem that bad but at the same time I can't help but feel it could have been fermented a little cleaner. It's not just the fruitiness, it seems there's a little bit of higher alcohol to it although it doesn't really stand out. It's only 5.6% alcohol by volume so I'm guessing they're doing high gravity brewing and then adding water back in to cut the alcohol down to where they want it. Still, I've had worse Euro lagers. On the other hand it doesn't rise that much further than a lot of average beers out there across the globe. Meh. If you're a fan of Polish beers for some reason (probably because you're Polish) go for it.

This was way better than I was expecting considering it's an imported beer in a green bottle. (And from a brewery I had never even heard of before.) What a nice surprise. Perfectly clear golden honey color. Didn't seem particularly carbonated. Very clean, pure taste, perfect example of the style, and extremely drinkable. Not much of an aftertaste at all, however. Definitely will be buying this again if I ever actually see it again. (And $2 for a 500ml bottle isn't bad either.)

500 ml bottle into lager glass, 29F1 bottle code. Pours crystal clear medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of cracker, white bread, lightly toasted biscuit, pepper, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. A bit of fruity/skunky aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with pale malt and light-moderate earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of cracker, white bread, lightly toasted biscuit, pepper, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of cracker, white bread, lightly toasted biscuit, pepper, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of pale malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Very clean on lager flavors, with minimal fruity/yeasty notes present. Moderate increasing dryness from bitterness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 5.6%. Overall this is a nice Euro pale lager. All around nice robustness and balance of pale malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful and not watery. Clean pils malts with nice noble hop presence/balance for the style. A very enjoyable offering, and well made style example. One of the better imported ones I've had.
