Browar Belgia Cobra Bite Lemongrass
68Clean and refreshing in a soft drink kind of way, but it's clearly more of an alcopop than a beer. Part of a range of fruit flavoured lagers that also include Apple, Blood Orange and Sweet Lime.
Lomza Mocne
71A sweet and rather mellow Polish beer that is not
particularly complex but is suppable nonetheless.
Okocim Okocim
68A golden Polish lager that seems a bit too thick and lacks a little subtlety.
Okocim Palone
73A tasty ruby beer from Poland that needs more
balancing bitterness.
Warka Strong
75A ‘keep out the cold lager' from Poland, a bit sweet and
syrupy yet not too in your face.
Warka Warka
63An unfortunate sample, perhaps, but a disappointing pale golden Polish lager.
Zywiec Porter
84One of the last surviving Baltic porters, brewed in the south of Poland. A chunky but smooth beer.
Zywiec Zywiec
65A full-bodied, sweetish, pale golden lager with a decent hop balance but, on this tasting, unfortunate oxidation (wet paper) notes dominating. Part of the Heineken empire.
