This week's beer of the week is a new one to me, Zubr. It has a green and gold label with a buffalo on the front. Here's the description on the label:
Brewed for over 200 years on the edge of the Bialowieza Forest in Poland, our golden beer is made from only natural ingredients and the purest water. The kno-how and expertise of our brewmasters ensure uncompromising quality with the rich and full taste of real beer.
It's worth noting that my Zubr came in a 500ml bottle and had 5.8% alc/vol.
There is a slight aroma to the beer, comforting and not offensive. My first taste was surprising, for a beer which is 5.8% alcohol, it is remarkable light in flavour. Ahhh, the second taste (a slightly larger gulp brings a slight but pleasant aftertaste. Sip #3 tells me that this is a high quality beer. One that I could drink a couple of without trouble.
Off I go to find a picture...hey, my extensive research (looking for a picture) tells me that Zubr means Bison (aka Buffalo)...cool.
