O.K. Beer - Okocim

You will learn I like my Polish beers.

Apparently Okocim is one of the oldest breweries in Poland and they have one of the biggest market shares over there. They have a variety of brands offering a wide assortment of beer and vodka. I have read that this particular beer is known as Stawski at local bars in Poland. This is the first of many Polish beer reviews.

The appearance is golden brown and very bright.

At first, Okocim has a sweet taste that finishes just the same. Even though it’s 5.6% Alc/vol, you can barely taste any alcohol making it pleasant and easy to drink. The smell is faint but sweet.

The head starts off strong and thick but subsides to a thin coat after about a minute. As you can see it is quite white and the bubbles, for the most part, are small.

All in all I enjoy drinking this beer, I give it an 8/10; a pretty good beer rating. It’s not my favorite, and it’s no Zywiec, but those of you who like a lighter beer with a pretty high alcohol content (for a light beer) will like it. Here in Chicago it is easy to find and relatively cheap to buy, I suggest you search around for it and try it.

Regards!

Na zdrowie!
