Label Reads: "High Quality Beer", "Unique Taste", "Warka Brewery is located in the Mazovia region of Poland. Warka was the birthplace of Kazimierz Pulaski (1745-79), Polish nobleman and general, a hero of the American Revolution. Brewing tradition dates back to the 15th Century, when in 1478 Warka brewers received exclusive privilege to supply the golden liquid to the Warsaw Royal Court. Warka beer is brewed according to traditional recipe (sic), using only natural ingredients and spring water".

Handwritten notes: This beer is one of another parade of Polack beers with the distinct taste of perverted German lager and grainy malt. Is this really my seventh Polish beer? About the only Polish word my Grandpa ever taught me was "kapusta". Apparently my uncle was a "kapusta head". Anyways, this Kazimierz Pulaski dude's life is more incredibly dull than a box of unsalted crackers. But there's a lot of crap named after him so I guess he did something right. I see a lot of similarities in this beer. There's a lot written on it, but c'mon guys, it's not that special.
