Disadvantages: Small amount of availability

Bosman Full Beer is a lager from Western Pomerania in North West Poland, it's brewery is based in Szczecin near the German border and it's not that easy to get outside of that area, although as part of the Carlsberg Group it is now promoted in larger supermarkets more often.

It comes across as a very simplistic beer and you could be forgiven for thinking Carlsberg had just acquired it so that no one else would but there's more to this beer than meets the eye.

With a red and white label, Poland's favourite colours flagwise and beerwise it doesn't stand out much and it also has a relatively standard alcohol percentage (5.8%) and extract (12.5%) but it has a distinctly hoppy flavour that seperates it from the lower-rated cheaper beers. On top of this it also has a head which hangs around for longer than most and a refreshing crispness that makes you hanker after another. Brewed since 1840, it's neither old or new but this is the beer of choice in Szczecin and it's not difficult to see why. Definitely recommended if you come across it.

Summary: Give it a go, you know you want to!
