special delivery

This one came as a present direct from Poland when a fellow language student went home for a visit.  9 hours in a bus to Prague, almost that long in a suitcase to Madrid, a couple of days in the fridge to cool off...at least it didn't explode.
Never an unappreciated gift
It has a clear, light golden color, very similar to German brews.  The head is snowy white and abundant, although not terribly lasting.  The beer isn't especially aromatic, but leaning into the glass a little reveals promising sharpness, a simple and direct odor, nodding towards a clean taste and thirst quenching.  The flavor doesn't disappoint.  It's sweeter than I expected from the hops featured prominently on the label, but not overwhelming.  Definitely not an intrusive beer, delicately flavored even, not something that would compliment a strong-tasting snack I think.  Unsalted nuts might be good, maybe very mild cheese.  Now I have a another reason to visit Poland, besides it just being there.
