Grim Reaper's Eulogy
EB is a popular brand name of Polish beer produced by the Elbrewery Company Ltd. in Elblag, Poland. The Elbrewery Company is Poland's largest brewery and belongs to the Żywiec Group. The Group consists of four main breweries: Żywiec, Elbrewery, Leżajsk and Warka, and is owned by the Dutch Heineken Group (Heineken International Beheer B.V.)
This is a pilsner beer, done in the old tradition. The Elbrewery's logo has a kangaroo and an ostrich on the label, not two items you would likely find in Poland, except at the zoo. Their motto is, "It's time for EB." Well, I don't know what time it really is but I'd have another of these, anytime at all.

Brain Damage Quotient = 5.5 % ABV

Postmortem Brew Review
Floral, light aroma.
Golden yellow nicely carbonated body.
Head sparse with nonexistent lacing.
Peaches, sweet apples and light hops flavor.
Light and well balanced for an overall refreshing brew.
Grim Reaper's Eulogy
For starters, let's not confuse this with eyesight correction. But at 5.5% alcohol, the too much Lezajsk might make you 'cockeyed' ! This beer claims roots back to 1525 and states "Legendary" status in several places on the label. I never heard of the legend, let alone how to pronounce the name. It's a train wreck of consonants!
Anyway, as legend goes, Polish King Sigismund "The Old", (hmmm...I the reaper, do my best to remember 'the old'), allowed the Lezajsk brothers exclusive brewing rights. Well bro', this is one beer alive with refreshment, but just like 'ol King Siggy, it's "gone" now.

Hevelius - Kaper Beer
Grupa Zywiec, S.A.
Silesian Voivodeship,
Poland
Est. 1690
Brain Damage Quotient = 8.7 % ABV
Fluid Oz. = 16.9
Postmortem Brew Review
Golden brown, almost butterscotch in color.
Faint malt smell & taste.
Overly hoppy to the point of bitterness.
Good lacing of head.
Head lasted to bottom of glass.
Bitter from the first to the last.
Grim Reaper's Eulogy
The label states, "Jan Hevelius, Astronomer & Brewmaster" Wow !!! With 8.7% alcohol content, and weighing in at a hefty 16.9 oz., you'll be seeing stars and barking at the moon. The overwhelming bitterness made it almost unbearable to finish this beer. If it were not for the strong beer buzz half way into drinking, I might not have finished it at all.

Light golden color.
Refreshing to palate.
Smooth flavor of hops & malt.
Good lacing all the way down the glass.
Long lasting head.
Grim Reaper's Eulogy
A deliciously refreshing beer. If you look closely at the back label, it has a "Zywiec Beer Thermometer" that tell's you when it's cold. My mustache has a beer gauge that tells you when it's all gone!
