In 5-liter keg, frothy white-headed golden pilsener shows true grit. Initial creamy wheat spunk and hushed barley crisping rise above musky hop herbage and ethereal floral-citric swipe. 2025 12-ounce can re-tasting added blunt earthen dewiness and cellared fungi.
(WARMINSKO-MAZURSKIE) JURAND EXTRA MOCNE
Despicably stale grassy-hopped sweet-corned malt liquor-y medium body with dismal carbolic intake suffers from abysmal alcohol harshness and putrid vegetal blurb.
(WARMINSKO-MAZURSKIE) DUBLIN IRISH STYLE DARK LAGER
Strange, a dark beer with an Irish moniker in a green bottle from Poland. Fleeting sour fig-prune acridity expelled by coarse nuttiness. Walnut, cola nut, and hazelnut bring bittersweet bite to dry hop-charred grain-roasted chocolate malts. Slight molasses refuge deepens resinous ash backslide.
(WARMINSKO-MAZURSKIE) JURAND DRI BEER RASPBERRY
Rare Eastern Euro fruited beer with equally unexpected clear pink body retains dank raspberry sweetness and tart wine cooler slack. Cloying soda fizz prickles tongue and dubious vegetal waft lowers appeal. Beer defunct: 2008.
WARKA VIENNA MARZEN
Translucently straw-hued, musty-scented, amber-grained middleweight offers bread-y cardboard frontage, candied apple register, and impending muted caramel sweetness to contrast lively sharp-hopped lemon tang, but cloy corn syrupy alcohol slurp inundating dank diacetyl finish overrides initial promise.
WARKA STRONG LAGER
Unspecific dried fruit souring rubs against cautious butterscotch sweetness of hazy golden full body. Precarious cider astringency, grassy hop musk, and dank malt finish lower appeal.
WALKERVILLE PREMIUM BLONDE
Simple dry-bodied ale closer to light pilsner with its biscuit-y wheat appeal, slim bread-crumb malting, and wispy lemon twinge. Dissipating apricot-quince reminder and flimsy floral flourish weakened by metallic twitch.
WALKERVILLE LAGER
Nominal light-bodied pale lager drapes toasted malt sweetness atop protective wheat-cracked marble rye layer and tidy dry-hopped bittering, but carbonated pop appeal upsets wispy toffee finish hiding fruity smidgen.
J.J. WAINWRIGHT’S EVIL EYE ALE
Musty malt aromatics, bland barley strand, and frisky hop rift overtake creamy sweetness. Sharp and firm on first impression, but light, watery, tinny finish weakens substantially.
WAGNER VALLEY SUMMER SAIL HEFEWEIZEN
Tiny yeast sediment dots tawny opaque body. Soured tangerine-peach fruitiness and clove spicing resonate through smoked wheat backbone. A bit offbeat.
WAGNER VALLEY SUGAR HOUSE MAPLE PORTER
Unlikely earthy peat malt opening sidles sweet tobacco, ashy maple, and burnt caramel influence of tan-headed, frothy-laced, cola-flowing dry port. Sticky mocha-honey-vanilla blend devours smoked cedar nuance, impending coffee inkling, and orange-bruised dried prune sourness before tingling over-carbonation, sputtered hop roast, and astringent finish disrupt.
WAGNER VALLEY SLED DOG TRIPPELBOCK
Busy maroon-hued, ruby-highlighted, full-bodied, 10% alcohol bock counters off-dry astringency with pecan-buttered date-raisin-fig medley and considerable heavy molasses malt strength. Smooth brandy illusion informs creamy toffee-caramel finish. Aged three years in growler, raisin-pureed citric-soured prune-plum tartness, tannic Muscat grape dryness, and cider-fused Merlot-wined burgundy-bourbon finish reach summit.
