Zagorka Special

Zagorka Special (5.0% abv) is the last of my Morrison's beers, and was a welcome beer after the intensity of the Bakalar! Hailing from the Zagorka Brewery, located in Bulgaria this beer is actually owned by Heineken. Zagorka is currently on the winning side of the Bulgarian megaswill divide, a market it currently shares with Kamenitza. Zagorka is the leading national premium beer brand in Bulgaria. Apparently its the beer all Bulgarians are proud of.

Compared to other east of Central European beers, Zagorka is a full body, mildly-hoppy and richly-flavored lager which is surprising. I was expecting a cheap and nasty cooking lager!

Definitely one to check out if you like your Pilsner style beers, a pleasant surprise.
