Harnas is brewed by Okocim Brewery, the same people who brew Okocim. You can refer to the first Okocim post for a brief history of the brewery.
This Polish beer was not the best I’ve ever had. It poured a pale golden color and as you can see there was basically no head or lacing. It smelled like Okocim as well, like faint hops and maybe some grain. To me it tasted like Okocim, but worse. It started off tasting like grains and a small hint of hops. It finished sweet, which was not a good thing. It’s 6% alc/vol but you don’t taste it, just the poor quality beer.
All in all, I give this beer a 5/10! It tasted watered down and basically like an American beer macrobeer. Not one of the best beer ratings here. I would suggest getting some other Polish beer if you are looking in that direction. This is good if you can find it for cheap, which isn’t hard here in Chicago; I got a 4 pack of pints for $4.

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!
