$2.49 for the 500 mL bottle from a Russian supermarket out in Decatur, GA, USA.
Sometimes you just get a moment when a beer is simply perfect for the circumstance. Zywiec happened to fill one of those moments for me yesterday.
Very little to report about the beer itself other than what you would expect. The pour gives a golden body with a bone-white head. Head is good but lace and retention are not great. The nose is essentially neutral which is not necessarily a bad thing, but at the same time is probably the weakest part of the brew.
Light hop presence and a nice sweetness to back it up. Very drinkable, smooth and lacks funk or bitter aftertaste.
It’s a very simple beer and that’s the beauty of it. It allows a refreshing, non-threatening taste that seems much smoother than I was anticipating.
