Tyskie is a pattern Gronie taste lager in the world. Perfectly composed flavor profile provides a strong bitterness and malt fully, while satisfying the desire.

Tyskie is made from carefully selected ingredients: malted barley, hops and water, using natural yeast in the beer fermentation.

Perfectly given Tyskie Gronie attracts the attention of a thick white foam, clarity, and light golden color.

Seasoned drinker senses in the notes of malt, delicate aroma of hops, and even touches of apple and banana. Gronie years gaining recognition in Poland and in the world. As the only Polish beer, twice won the "Beer Oscars" - Grand Prix at The British Brewing Industry Awards, the most prestigious beer competition in the world.

Really impressive appearance and head. Aroma is strong of bitter hoppiness and complex malts. Almost some aromas of a lamb stew that has been cooked slowly for 4 hours.

I am certain Tyskie have recently remixed their recipe as I am certain it is not usually this good. Ok, on to the taste.

Strong bitterness in the hops, in the initial mouth feel and taste, as opposed to the aftertaste. Lots of breadiness...but highly fermented breadiness. Maybe a bit too musch malty breadiness. And the mouth feel is a little simple and primarily in the initial gulp. The aftertaste is far too powerful.

First sip was best, but the more one has, the worst it seems to taste. Aroma is really amazing though, as is the look.

Poured from 500ml bottle. Adjunct colour, medium carbonation. Slightly sweet malt on nose. Taste isn't complex, slightly bitter malt in aftertaste. Decent lager, happy to drink away, so job done.

A very smooth and easy drinking beer. Very well balanced and rounded. Refreshing and not heavy. A beer you can just enjoy when you just want a beer. Very crushable. I recommend it. Cheers!

This beer used to be the best-selling beer in Poland. I mostly experienced it on draft around Kraków. It didn’t take me long to promise myself I’d never drink it again. I hate to be unkind, but it is one of the worst-tasting beers I ever drank. The aftertaste is deadly and guaranteed to ruin any meal.

It’s okay. My six pack definitely isn’t fresh but it tastes a lot like Mexican beer. Tecate especially. Which is fine with me.

Drunk at Wiejskie Jadlo restaurant in the Main Square of Poznań (Poland). Half liter bottle poured into a mug.

-Very small foam head. Yellow transparent colour.
-Herbal smell. Usual for a Pilsener, not bad.
-Sligthly bitter Pilsener taste.
-Less full bodied than a Czech Pilsener.

Not bad, but nothing excepcional.

Solid beer in the style. Enough subtle bitterness to give some flavour, but not over power. Not as good as some premium Austrian lagers, but at a price point averaging 35% less than any other craft, domestic or import, this is above its class and easily outstrips most craft lagers.

Quick edit: I think often people forget what style of beer they are rating (as evidenced by lagers/pilsners generally tracking so low while only IPA’s and such get too scores.. ) in any case I’m rating in consideration of other beers in/near the same style… + for me cost factors in huge, as I see such a crazy spread and frankly that is part of the value proposition!

Look :- Medium gold , creamy head .

Smell :- Malt and rice.

Taste :- An odd fruity flavour , you can taste the alcohol flavour which makes it feel a little rough , sweet and grassy and somehow rice despite not containing it .

Mouth feel :- Prickly, somehow a little too thick and watery at the same time .

Overall :- Average and oddly sweet . Too grassy for me .

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4
Appearance: Pours a completely clear, medium orange color with a strong white head that lingers. (4.00)

Aroma: Strong aromas of pale malts, earthy malt, with some club soda. This is followed by a distinct apple and banana aroma behind that. (4.00)

Flavor: Moderate flavors of pale malts, bread malts earthy. Then it falls into a strong sweet apple and banana flavor. Leans relatively sweeter. (4.25)

Feel: Medium to heavier bodied. Moderate carbonation. Finish is smooth. (4.25)

Compared to Red Stripe Jamaican Lager 8/29/22: Pours a darker color. Stronger aromas. More apple/banana. Less earthy bread spice. Sweeter, heavier, smoother.

Overall: A nice Euroe pale lager from Poland. Nice and distinct apple and banana flavors. A rich, slightly sweet, but smooth malt body. Very drinkable. Darn good. Maybe should be the official Poland lager. (Rating: 4.13-)

I bought a can of this beer whilst sightseeing in Warsaw. It poured a clear golden with thin white head that disappeared over time and did not leave any lace. The scent had grain notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with grain presence. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.
