Poured 500ml bottle into a lager glass. Beer has a small 1/4" head, and has a translucent gold color. Scent is very faint, but do pick up on some yeast mostly. Taste is a pleasant euro lager taste, Low bitterness and low carbonation. Even mouthful overall. Beer is pleasant.
Glad I tried a beer from Ukraine, and was pleasantly surprised, it was a good lager overall.

500ml bottle into a pint glass.
Pours a slightly hazy straw yellow with a small fizzy head.
The aroma is quite skunked thanks to the green bottle but once that dissipates a little, sweet bready grain and grass comes through and is fairly pleasant.
The flavor is very typical of Euro lagers. Crisp grain along with hay and grass dominate but there really aren't any off flavors. The grain is clean and pronounced and the grassy hops lead to a crisp bitterness.
I picked this beer up on a whim to try a Ukrainian beer. I am really quite pleased. While it isn't really any different than the multitude of other Euro lagers, it holds its own and is a pleasure to drink.

This seemed a little sweeter than a good German pils. Perhaps closer a export lager though as there’s a decent IBU level and soft bready malt character. The aroma, however, holds a acidic cheap beer note that brings this down a notch.

The label says "ale" on it, but I suppose that's in the small print and might not mean much. Anyways, this was a little sweeter than a good German pils. I might consider it a Dortmund export lager though as there's a decent IBU level and soft bready malt character. The aroma, however, holds a acidic cheap beer note that brings this down a peg.

Pours a pale straw color, touch of gold, huge rush of champagne like carbonation, clear underneath. Scent is pale and mild, light dried hay, faint touch of earthy mustyness. Taste is uber-pale, faintly sweet, dried grain and earthy hops, hindered by the high cabonation. Lacks subtle complexity of top notch pilsners. Light bodied, over carbonated, dry. Blurs the line of a pilsner and adjunct lager in terms of flavor profile, no off notes is the only real positive.

Poured from a green 16.9 oz. bottle. Has a golden color with a small head. Smell is mild, a touch skunky. Taste is crisp, rather mild with a bit of sweetness, not overly flavorful. Feels light in the mouth and has good drinkability. Overall this is a decent brew.
