500ml bottle - called 'Obolon Strong' in my neck of the woods, and I dunno where they got the 'ale' concept from here.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some splotchy and wispy cloud pattern lace around the glass as it evenly bleeds out of sight.
It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, a bit of lemon furniture polish, a musky earthy yeastiness, and some mildly skunked (yeah, green glass - get caught the fuck up, rest of the world, already) leafy, musty, and dead floral noble hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, some lightly boozy generic citrus banality, kind of addled yeast, and more musky, herbal, and gently lit-up floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly active in its palate-pinging frothiness, the body an adequate medium weight, with a not uncertain pithiness really there from the onset. It finishes off-dry, the malt and plain Euro-trashiness keeping it real, old-school Ukrainian homestead style, as it were.
Overall - this comes across as yer typical Continental warmed-up lager, without the majority of those petro-forward offshoots that one might have been wearily expecting, as such. Anyways, a worthy enough offering to schlep over to yer girlfriend's Eastern European extended family during their beet and cased meat holiday extravaganza - that is, if you want to avoid the inevitable plum brandy (read: vodka) post-prandial shenanigans.

A: The beer is clear light yellow in color and had a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a short white head that quickly died down, leaving only a collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Aromas of skunk are present in the nose along with hints of grainy malts and grassy hops.
T: The taste is a near mirror image to the smell and is mostly dominated by notes of skunk.
M: It feels a bit shy of being medium-bodied on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer does a rather good job at masking the alcohol from the taste—it's just a shame that the green bottle contributes some skunk to the smell and taste.

From the bottle, it pours golden with a small head, quickly dissipating. Bubbles continue to flow from the bottom as you enjoy the ale. Some malt in the nose and mouth, but not much. No off flavors, but nothing really stands out either. Dangerously subtle, alcohol wise.
