@BDM: I usually have very good luck with Becks for some reason though. It's skunk piss sometimes though.

It's Polish and is kind neither here nor there. I have never had any cause to complain about it but it's flavor is not especially exciting. I buy it when I feel indecisive.

I have 500ml cans today but the bottles have a cool gimmick. They have a "thermometer" feature built into the label on the back. The logo only appears when the beer is cold enough to drink.

I always found that kind of charming.

(Handful and I live in the same place so I'm pretty sure he already knows about it.)

BDM, here is a link to the Zywiec brewery wiki.

The style I am drinking is probably the "pale lager" and I like it quite well and I've bought plenty of it over the years. I never thought to look them up. They probably make an awesome porter.

Plus I have a very generic Polish last name and it makes me happy to drink beer "from the old country". It's silly.

Beer Advocate here.

It get's a C+. So my assessment of it being kind of a "middle of the road" beer is probably pretty normal.
