Lager - Pale
Very light bodied Polish lager is clean and then finishing smooth. Lightly malted regional barley and clean finish is on the high end of Pale Lager Imports. Easy to drink thanks to no "off" flavors or weirdness. Decent brew after a long day in the sun.

Reviewing again as I was probably drunk last time, I thought it was amazing value but I find it hard to believe that anything owned by Carsberg is good.
Looks alive, similar to a beer from draft in a bar...small bubbles...I guess it's because it is still alive due to being unpasteurized. Aroma is mega interesting with all kinds of yeasty elements.
Taste is pretty funky. Not particularly hoppy. Mega funky and yeasty. I like the mouth feel even though it's a little thin, but the taste is kind of lemonny with elements of lemon peel and funky yeast. Unfortunatley there is nothing particularly to like about the taste, the yeasties feel like they haven't had time yet to release all of their beautiful alcohol. And the hops add bitterness without flavour. Similar to Zubr a bit and great value. From memory this is much better draft in a bar.
Not bad, just not really what I like drinking, I prefer more lightness, more alcohol and more hops!
Just had another one and reduced the scores a bit.

Poured from a 16.9 oz. can. Has a dark golden color with a 1 inch head. Smell is of grains, malts. Taste is mild, the same as the aroma, easy drinking. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall it ain't bad, but nothing special.

A: The beer is crystal clear yellow in color and has a light amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that quickly settled down, leaving a thin patch of bubbles on the surface and a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Faint aromas of biscuit and bready malts are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell and has notes of yeast and faint bits of bitterness from the underlying hops.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and very smooth on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The aroma and taste of this lager won't blow you away but the beer is easy to drink.
Serving type: can

From the large can, it pours a clear yellow golden color with a large head. Grainy scent in the nose. In the mouth, clean, but grainy flavor profile. Typical European Pale Lager.

Look - Mid golden colour. Nice full head and good lacing.
Smell - Faint smell of hops with hint of malt (after a while). It wasn't too aromatic, maybe because it was from the can?
Taste - Decent bitterness like for pale lager, but not too powerful, refreshing, crisp.
Feel - Quite full like for lager, very pleasant. Being unpasteurized gives an extra depth.
Overall - Good lager. Maybe not the best on the market, but very solid. Very satisfactory experience. Unpasteurized type always is a welcome choice. Recommended.

Kasztelan Unpasteurized has a medium, white head, a clear, bubbly, golden appearance, and some glass lacing. The aroma is of grassy hop & cracker, and the flavor is similar with mild bitterness. Mouthfeel is almost high medium, and Kasztelan Unpasteurized finishes crisp.
