Beer Tasting 51: Zywiec from Poland

Dzień dobry! Stolat! I was introduced to Zywiec along with another beer called Okocim when I worked briefly in Poland back in 1990 and 1991. I was told the two were good quality household Polish piwo (beer) that I had to try. 'Mr. Zywiec' and I parted for a good 12+ years and then we had a reunion when they started to import my old Polski friend to British Columbia a few years back! Zywiec is a Polish larger. It came with a light straw colour and a nose of honey, citrus, grain and sweet corn syrup although I believe no corn was employed in this brew. The mouth feel is soft / smooth and the taste is grainy, faintly fruity and biscuity that resembles some of the low hopped Japanese beer. However, the hop presence is here in this one leaving a sharp, positive astringent finish. Pretty good! Till next time! do widzenia! cześć!

@KillingJoke696 I think Polish beers are generally OK but Czech beers I must say, in my humble opinion, are superior.

The best of these is Lezajsk - wheat beer, tastes extremely bad when it's not chilled, but when it's chilled it's amazing beer!

żywiec is good, but you should try ciechan, it's much better. okocim is shit.
