🌍 Poland · Czech Pilsner · One of 30 Czech Pilsners in hopIQ

Browar Kormoran's flagship Czech-style lager — 'Warmińskie' means 'from Warmia' (the historical region of northeast Poland). Cold-conditioned and brewed with Saaz hops in the Czech pale lager tradition: clean, crisp and well-balanced with a gentle herbal bitterness. Warmińskie reflects the brewery's commitment to quality lager in a region better known for its lakes than its beer.

Aroma

The nose is dominated by classic Saaz hop character with delicate herbal and floral notes that are distinctly noble in character. Supporting these are subtle grainy and bread-like malt aromas that provide foundation without overshadowing the hop profile. The overall aromatic expression is clean and refreshing, with no off-flavors or rough edges.

Taste

The palate opens with clean, crisp malt sweetness with prominent grainy and bread-forward notes that define the mid-palate experience. A gentle, well-integrated herbal bitterness from Saaz hops provides balance without aggression, while the light body ensures excellent drinkability. The overall impression is harmonious and refreshing, with neither malt nor hops dominating.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Warmińskie

Serve at 4–7°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.

Pilsner glass
Recommended for this style

The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.

Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
