Perla Mocne (pack of 4) (7.6%)

A Polish strong lager brewed by Perla-Browary Lubelskie in Lublin, sold as a 4-pack of cans at approximately 7.6% ABV. It is brewed using bottom-fermenting lager methods and locally grown Lublin hops, and is one of Poland's more recognized entries in the mocne category. The brewery's modern production facility sits at Kunickiego 106 in Lublin. An extended fermentation and conditioning period gives Mocne its fuller body and deeper malt complexity. The aroma leads with malty sweetness, followed by toasted cereal grain and subtle floral hop notes. The palate brings pronounced malt sweetness with biscuit and light caramel, a pleasing malty mid-palate, then measured hop bitterness, with medium-full body and a floral, slightly herbal dimension from the Lublin hops. The finish is moderate, with residual malt sweetness fading into a dry, lightly bitter close and a faint toasted grain note.
