Re-reviewing. Impressive quite bubbly head. No idea if the Export is supposed to be better than the standard pils, or if it's worse so they export it. Aroma is rather foamy and a little musky.

Taste is primarily honey with some interesting bitterness coming through also...similar to orange or lemon peel, but without too much orange or lemoneyness (if it makes sense). Rather different to the more famous Polish pilsners, maybe it uses different hops? And it has a more creamy and thick feel also, and the bitterness lingers on the tongue for about 10 seconds. Seems to have won some kind of silver award in London. I agree, this has a unique flavour, complexity, amazing mouth feel, and is still mega cheap and about the same price as a Tyskie or Lech, yet is definitely superior to both. I especially love the bitterness and mouth feel.

For me this is as good as a pils as Pilsner Urquell, though obviously much less famous. By the number of reviews on this website, it seems like they are not exporting it enough. It's kind of like Pilsner Urquell but with more of a honey taste that creates an interesting contrast. And it has a much better head and more creamy mouth feel. Certainly not a typical Polish pilsner, it has no mocne flavours and is not watery like Zubr. This is total quality and I doubt there are many other beers at this price range anywhere in the world that are as good as this.

These brewers have an amazing product, I just think that not enough people realize.

Fortunately I have a Pilsner Urquell in the fridge, so I can compare them directly. Urquell has a slightly better aroma. But I much prefer the flavour and mouth feel of Trybunal Export. It's a little more intense. The Urquell bitterness lasts longer on the tongue, but Trybunal is more interesting. Both are mega similar though. Trybunal should maybe hire a new marketing person, as you have an amazing beer and should be more famous! Anyway I will buy some more so maybe to will have enough money soon for a new marketing person. And no one in Poland seems to even know this beer, and they sell it at petrol stations and on Wolt delivery. Maybe they should put a bison on the label.

Anyway for me this is at the same level as Pilsner Urquell, regarded by many as the best pilsner in the world. I prefer this as the honey sweetness balances better with the hops bitterness, however on this website my review has a lower overall score, due to its aroma which doesn't have much hops.
