This one pours a slightly cloudy straw yellow color, with a big fluffy head, and lots of lacing.

This smells a touch skunky, with fresh cut grass, minerals, weed, and floral hops.

I sort of associate Polish lagers with that sort of classic skunkiness, so the heavy skunk on this does work. It's very minerally and herbal, with floral and spicy hops, and maybe even a bit of woodiness.

This is pretty drinkable, and light bodied, with a nice crispness to it.

I really like the esoteric feel here - I can't really think of any other brewery outside of Poland doing a Polish-style lager. The skunkiness is a bit much at times, but it's otherwise tasty and drinkable.

Can to lager glass. Bottom off to the side stamped "07/24/19."
The appearance poured a papery cloudy yellow color and left a slightly off bright yet murky yellow color. A four finger white foamy head sat atop for a good minute before slowly dieing off. Lots of messy semi-bubbly to somewhat foamy lace.
The aroma had a little bit of skunky grass, somewhat reminiscent of a Stella Artois but cleaned up. Some burnt biscuits come in with some warmth. Dried tree bark closer to the back end.
The flavor started with the skunky grass and opened up on into some earthy sweet spices. Dried biscuity and skunky grassy spiced aftertaste.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Luckily, the skunkiness involved with the aroma and flavor don't add any negative effects on the feel as this seems to just stroll along my tongue with a little bit of stickiness. Pretty good carbonation. Semi-sticky finish.
Overall, mainly reviewing this for observations as I have no clue what a Polish lager is supposed to taste, smell or feel like. To me personally, I'd say this was only okay and I would like to seek other Polish lagers just to see what this style is all about.
