	<description>We love beer, we thank heaven.  Begrudgingly, we admit we are not the authority on all things &#34;beer,&#34; but we know our fair share.  Enjoy the good brew with us; correct us where we&#039;re wrong.</description>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://thankheavenforbeer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/poland.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-625" title="poland" src="http://thankheavenforbeer.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/poland.jpg" alt="" width="140" height="140" /></a>More than O.K.&#8211;that is what I have to say about this beer.  I&#8217;ve had Okocim&#8217;s strong Porter a few times and have enjoyed it.  When I saw this beer, called a Full Pale, I thought I&#8217;d give it a whirl.  After all, there are some nice beers coming from Poland. </p>
<p>Upon pouring the beer, it had a little head on it, which was sandy blond and looked fairly clean in the glass. </p>
<p>It was pretty aromatic, as far as a Pilsner-style goes.  On Okocim&#8217;s <a title="Okocim website" href="http://www.okocim.com.pl/okbeer.htm" target="_blank">website</a>, this is called a Polish Pils Style.  It did have a light hop aroma, which is typical of many Pilsners these days (although not <a title="Article on Pilner as a historical style" href="http://thankheavenforbeer.com/2008/11/11/style-series-pilsner-lager/" target="_blank">historically</a>).  I noted a slight woodiness and grainy-ness in the nose, along with sweet honey overtones. </p>
<p>Taste-wise, the beer had a slight alcohol taste and a nice grainy finish.  There was also a dry and slightly nutty finish to the brew.  I found the dryness particularly likable.  The honey in the nose came through in the palate of the beer, especially when it came to the yeasty aspects. </p>
<p>There was nothing extremely distinctive about this beer&#8230;but something inexplicable made the beer immenently drinkable.  It is a delicious beer that you don&#8217;t have to overthink.</p>
