From a 500ml can dated BB 25.06.2026. Poured into a pint glass. A scant one finger bubbly off white head on a clear light amber. the head diminished to a thin layer. Some stringy lacing.
Some grainy malts up front. Floral hops. A somewhat metallic aftertaste.
Medium body and carbonation. Overall not great.

More flavor than I was expecting for a pale lager. Surprisingly good!

There seems to be a few different Zubrs on this site, all with different brewers...interesting! I'm not sure who actually brewed this as I'm not a spy, so I chose the top one as the bottle looks the same.
Looks a bit watery and flat, aroma is frothy with some faint hop elements...and lots of funky yeastiness.
Flavour is lacking a bit compared with the Namyslow that I just drank. It doesn't have a pronounced honey malt taste or a hoppiness. It has a funky yeasty taste, which reminds me of both the wine and cidre that I tried brewing myself in England. Which, as I have no idea how to make wine or cider, or indeed spell cider correctly more than once, is not a good sign.
I do like the handsome bison on the can, however it's not a bison/zubr, it's some kind of tiger. A little misleading.
Mouth feel is super watery. Luckliy it's not sweet at all. Hops is ok, and the general flavour is kind of funky. Plus it's fairly strong. Is there a mocne version of this? Hopefully yes.
I would describe the taste as bread, olive, banana skin and tangerine peel. And the hops kinds of balances everything.
Overall this is certainly not smooth or complex, it's a violent jungle of tigers and zubrs who are totally lost and not sure which bottle or can they should have their photo taken for.
It's great value like Polish beers in general...it's not great though. This is the definition of a funky beer. It's mega yeastie and hot out of the fermentation tank.

16.9 oz can best by 04/02/2026 into a pokal.
L: SRM 4 pours clear gold caramel color with a thin white head that fizzes quickly to edge foam, light steady carbo, and a few spots of lacing.
S: Slightly bready, a hint of grains.
T: Grains, a hint of white grape, thin muted tastes of apple, pear, distant zest. It leans malty and is lightly pale.
F: Smooth medium light bodied cola-like feel and a medium-fast length lightly dry finish.
O: A basic beer. Kind of industrial. Easy to drink. A bit below average. Thin and shallow. It's okay in the style.

Pours clear gold in color with one inch head. Taste is pilsner malt and cereal. Medium bodied and carbonation sweet. Makes for an average Euro lager. I prefer others in the style.

500ml bottle poured into Sam Adams pint glass.
Pours a clear honey yellow with two puffy fingers of eggshell head that leaves globs of foamy lace as it recedes.
Smells of sweet grainy pale malt, mild cooked corn and vegetables, and mild grassy hops.
Taste follows nose with more grainy malt, steamed veg and cut grass hops.
Feels light and crisp. Light bodied with mildly prickly carbonation. Finishes off-sweet.
Verdict: Not bad, but not really worth buying.
