Either I should stop trying Pilsners since they all taste very similar to me, or I should try a whole lot more since I am starting to pick up some subtle flavor differences. This Polish Pilsner pours the same translucent straw color with loads of carbonation and head that you expect from a Pilsner. It tastes like a traditional Pilsner up front, but there’s a marked sweetness in the aftertaste that’s not really very welcome. It’s not nearly as clean tasting a Pilsner as a lot of the Czech ones I’ve tried. That seems to be a characteristic of the style - you should taste it while you’re drinking it, but it gets out of the way quickly and leaves you wanting more.

I could not find a website for this beer either but that could be because I don’t read Polish. If I were in Poland, I’d be able to get by drinking this beer. However, I don’t think I would actively seek it out. There are much more clean finishing Pilsners out there and i think I like that more than what I got here.
