History
An old-established brewery, which,
after operating on a fairly modest scale for the first 50 years, was already
producing around 400,000 hl by the time of the first world war. The interwar
period was rather more difficult and far smaller quantities were produced.
During most of this period, from 1851 to the German invasion in 1940, the
brewery was owned by the Götz family. The period after the Second World War
again saw a rapid growth in output, though initially this was only low gravity
beer.
The beers are lagered for periods varying from 4 weeks for the 9%, to 5 months
for the Porter. The brewery was thoroughly modernized in 1993 when conical
fermenters were installed. Theirs are some of the Polish beers more commonly
found abroad..
What to expect:
Pour: Golden in color, and perfectly clear with a thick
off-white head that settles to a thin froth on the surface. Somewhat sticky
lacing and good head retention make this an attractive beer.
Aroma: Grassy and slightly hoppy aromas, as well as some
slightly sweet pale malt
Smell: Not much on the nose. Biscuit and honey, with some
floral, grassy hop notes.
Taste: Taste is bready, dry, and quite crisp. Some light sweet
malts, and a mineral hoppy finish. Simple, but fairly tasty and refreshing.
Mouth Feel: Mouth feel is not bad, crisp, snappy carbonation,
and decent body.
Drinkability: Enjoyable throughout, can't taste the alcohol at
all. It's easy to drink and refreshing.
