A 500ml green glass bottle with a BB of Aug 2013. Picked up last year from Sainsbury's as part of their British Beer Hunt. Named after a bear that was adopted by members of the Polish army in WWII and 'served' alongside them. Neat story....
Poured into a straight pint glass. A clear darkish-amber colour with medium carbonation. Forms a large head of white foam that lasts for a few minutes before collapsing to a patchy surface layer. Some lacing. Aroma of nutty caramel malt with hints of faint roasted grain, fruity ale yeast and stewed leaves. A touch of cardboard in the background. Average.
Tastes of caramel malt with a dry, bitter finish. Notes of mild roasted grain, subtle nuttiness, fruity ale yeast, faint grass and stewed hops. Well-attenuated, followed by a leafy bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with prickly carbonation and a rather thin body. Slightly astringent, with an aftertaste of mild cardboard, stewed leaves and ale yeast.
So-so; another average beer. Makes me think the Beer Hunt selection process is somewhat flawed or biased towards mass-appeal over depth of character. Anyway, this looks OK but the aroma/flavour are dull and uninteresting, while the body is lacklustre. Nought special - no need to seek it out.

Nice story on the back label of my 500ml green bottle which was opened and shared with a mate on 15 Feb 2013 during a random beer tasting evening. The beer is named after a Polish bear that ate, smoked and drank with Polish soldiers during WW11, eventually he also shared their fate.
The beer is really a lager style beer in looks and taste: it doesn't say what type it is on the labelling but as it is in celebration of a Polish bear one can assume it to be lager/pilsner based. It is fairly dry with a hop finish, some maltiness also about, but hops rule the overall flavouring.
I found it refreshing and pleasant enough, suited the large German Frikadellen and mild mustard we were eating at the time.
