Never an unappreciated gift |

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.
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.
