Zywiec Beer
Zywiec Breweries PLC (Heineken)

Great looking beer...great clarity vigorous lively bubbles form during the pour, golden in color, white head; not much retention or lacing...just a thin film remains.

Generic pale lager nose, comes off slightly sweet and doughy in nature; there is a little bit of herbal hops trying to pop through...not much else for this one.

Taste leans sweet and doughy, plain cereal; there is an added little tiny bit of toasted feel to the bread though, generic old world hops on the finish, nondescript but they're there.

Light leaning to medium body, smooth going down but sort of cloyingly slick, low to moderate bit of bitterness on the finish.

 

 

 

Poured cold from a 330ml bottle into a lager flute. Clear amber in color, with a couple of fingers of white head that settled within a few moments. Malty up front, with notes of bread, grain, grass, wet hay, and a hint of tart apple. Light to medium bodied, with prickly carbonation and good hop bitterness. Finish is dry and quite astringent, with a note of sourness lingering on the finish. Overall, I'd say this is a pretty good beer. It has a lot of character, and it goes great with food. I thought it was much better cold; YMMV.

Look...Usual pale yellow with a significant amount of foam and a white head of little bubbles
Smell..the usual insignificant light hop citrus of many lagers I find especially the big companies. A little white bread loaf.
Taste...I get a pilsner off the start. Something about that unique transition to the yeasty malt indigenous to the motherland Poland, A drying bitter invites more sips with enough sweet to balance. A typical lager for me but very good
Feel.. A perfect slickness that adds to the sum of the parts I think. A medium carb leading to a small lacing that is full and -still very drinkable.
Overall...l had to try this living in the Hard Hittin New Britsky. The polish contingent in this town is apparent and I see the boys come into my local always picking these up. Had this a long time ago but always remembered it well. Glad to rate this and very enjoyable and feel this one to be fresh, Trying to figure out the code is difficult but with the movement of this product at this store...Its fresh. This is a keeper

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poured from a 500ML bottle into a pint glass. The appearance is a clear golden color with a large white head. The aroma is light yeast and hops. decent session beer.

Zywiec Beer pours a bubbly, pale yellow color, with not much head. Aroma is grainy, a hint of "cheapness." Flavor is there, sweet, but not too sweet, grainy and bright cereal notes, not bad at all. Good body and feel. Its a not bad beer, nicer European pale lager.

Look :- A pleasant medium amber colour.

Head :- A thin head that didn't some disappeared after a minute except for a ring abound the edge of the glass as the bubbles kept coming . No lacing .

Smell :- Mild , not a lot to go on . Every so slightly creamy .

Taste:- Medium hop bitterness right away that remains steady balanced by a mild creamy taste and a very mild kind of sweetness. More than a hint of alcohol.

Mouth feel :- Thick and lingering , a little too much for me , this must be what oily means . Medium carbonation.

Overall:- Average sadly , the creamy taste and oily mouth feel are not great . The steady hop bitterness is pleasant but nothing much else comes through except the creaminess and alcohol. Kind of one dimensional . It feels like it has syrup in in but without any sweetness, it doesn't according to the tin.
