Soli-beer-ity: A Review of Warka Strong from Browary Warka

I was watching the Chronicles of Narnia tonight with my nephews and the part where the little girl meets Mr. Tumnus kind of perplexed me in a "I'm high on cough syrup and will ask stupid questions" sort of way. I understand he's a partial goat man and such but why wouldn't the dude at least wear a shirt in the land of always winter and never Christmas (is that where Andy Partridge got the title for his song from?)? I mean it's frigidly cold outside so at least wear a wife beater, right?

So I have the same question about Kazimerz Pulaski: why is he on this bottle? Sure he was born in Warka but nobody puts a picture of famous people on a beer just because they were a great warrior, fought in the American Revolution and helped forge a new country for the power elitist nefarious lizards of the Illuminati. Seriously, imagine Samuel Adams on a beer label!

So this beer is an odd combination of many things. Sure, it's a lager but it leans more towards being an English ale with its sticky and cloying sweetness though minus the caramel and butterbean malt-itude. The lack of any hops though kind of gives it a kolsch-y flavor and its alcoholic flavor puts it out there in Warkaland with the 700 saviors of Warsaw and Chopin's ensconced chest pumperoni. Otherwise it's pretty refreshing in a way that you drink it once and then pass the remaining bottles onto your stepsister Janet as a nice basket filler in a housewarming present.

ABV: 7%
