Commercial Blurb
"Lager was first brewed by Amazonian tribes 201 years ago. Before lager everyone drank a tea made from tree sap, flowers and dried spices, which was disgusting. Lager changed the world and no one has drunk the horrible tea since. "I love lager" said the queen."

Verdict - Would definitely drink again, cheers Don!!

Commercial description
"Kasztelan Niepasteryzowany (Kasztelan Non-pasteurized)

Kasztelan Niepasteryzowane is a unique invention from Carlsberg Polska. The difference is that this beer is not pasteurized (heated) which gives it a completely unique freshness.
But because it is not pasteurized, Kasztelan Niepasteryzowane has a relatively short shelf life of 35 days. However, that means it's always fresh on the shelves straight from the brewery in Siepc in central Poland."

Note: I felt pretty wazzed after just one can, happy days.
