Staropolskie Dworskie Beer

The way I know this isn't the same beer I had before is that this one has a red label while the other one had a green label. They're named something different, and that should account for something as well. There's pretty much nothing in the 2/10 of a percent alcohol difference between these two beers, and the Polish name and writing really doesn't give me anything to go on to discern the difference. I kinda liked the last one, so maybe that bodes well for this one.

I'm going to say this is the same color as the last one. It really doesn't have much haze, and the beer is bronze. The slightly off-white head was not particularly forthcoming during the pour, and that means this is presenting just like the Chielne. I think I might smell a little less malt in this one than I smelled and the other one, but it generally has very light floral hops and a kind of bread malt underneath that belies a certain amount of sweetness.

First sip is very mild. It's a little watery, but it's mostly malt in its caramel and cracker form. There's some grass in the foreground, but other than that, it's just kind of bland. Unlike the green label beer, this one does have a bit of skunkiness to it that seems like it was intended to be there. It's not horrifically skunked, and that's not it's main feature. Instead, it's main feature is wateriness.

Tip-in is very light carbonation twitchiness with watery grass and bread. The middle is pretty terrible; it features some kind of caustic metal that's been surrounded by rusty water and had some bread in flowers tossed in the middle of it. The finish is bitter and unrefined with a skunk on it's trail.

Bottom Line: Not a good beer at all.
