Lager - Tatra - $1.85

Mood: Just got home from working with mosaic at a good leafs game. Been craving beer all week!

Where to Buy: LCBO

Price: $1.85 (=0.10) $1.95

Beer Type: European Lager Beer

Calories: 110 (bottle)

Ingredients: malted barley, choicest hops, and pure mountain spring water

Country:Poland (brewed by Heineken International)

%: 5.5

ml: 500

Appearance: "pale" ale. Aka: bright yellow. White head that disappears right away!

Smell: Smell's like beer but a little sweeter. Like if a Heineken and Strongbow had a baby.

Taste:Not bad. Tastes beer-y like I like, goes down full and slightly bitter (not in a bad way), there is a mild bitterness on the palate with each sip, from start to finish. Ends sweet and cider-y. Also, like if a Heineken and Strongbow had a baby.

Mouthfeel: pillowy, not too carbonated (my favorite), let it sit in your mouth and it turns slightly creamy.

Aftertaste: Beer + sweet. Good aftertaste. Subconscious bitterness, it is but a remnant. As you keep drinking the can it gets sweeter and sweeter and more like strongbow (also happens the longer the aftertaste).

Overall: Comparable to Faxe (as in I like!). A good beer. Will try different variations (light/amber/dark) if available. Nice. Not too buzzed after, which means even with the higher alcohol content, it's still a light beer.

9/10
