500 ml bottle from Kiev

Pours red brown with some off-white head that soon dissipates, leaving a thin layer of foam, some very small lacing. There is no carbonation visible. Aroma is sweet slightly grassy caramel maltiness, very pleasant. Taste is quite similar - it is sweet first with lots of caramel and some fruit ending on rather bittery note. Mouthfeel is between light and medium and there is not much carbonation.

Actually, I would say this beer is Vienna lager, not American Amber/Red lager as listed now.

An interesting beer, I liked this one a lot, it is different than other Chernigivske beers that are brewed in a different brewery.

Brewed at one of the InBev/SunInterbrew breweries - seems like former local brands expand.

Reddish amber color, beautiful long-lasting head, medium level of carbonation, very modest lace.

Aroma dryish, herbal, with a note of caramel. By the way, the brewery discloses 'caramel malt, rice, glucose syrup, natural aroma of orange, ascorbic acid, lemon acid' as ingredients. Despite all this, the beer has quite a natural taste, rather pleasant, sweet malts gradually fading thus making more place for hops and acidic elements. Finish sour, fresh, aftertaste bitter, general mouthfeel clean & crisp.

An interesting beer. Not bad at all.
