500ml can in Kyiv. Pours a clear yellow with a small fast to go white head. Aroma is wierd yes like the last guy strawberries. Taste is light malt and little else. Normal Euro trash beer from this brewing company famous for this mass produced garbage. This one however is barely drinkable, most are not. Ending is light metal.

Copenhagen 20/11 2022. 50 cl can from Meny, Borups Allé, Frb. F. Steel can with a heart in Ukrainian colors.
Pours clear yellow with a mid-sized white head. A bit bubbly. Settles as a 0,5 cm thick layer of foam covering the surface of the beer. Crawling up the sides of the glass. Moderate lacing.
Aroma is moderately intense with a sweet malty odor mingling with salty notes and some sour grains. Sweet pale malts, bread and cardboard. Whiff of alcohol and glue.
Medium strong carbonation. Thin, oily, lively and tingling texture.
Flavor is medium intense with a rather strong sweetness followed by a more moderate bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter with a sweet undertone. Lingers for a bit. Finish is semi-dry.
It might be Ukraine’s most loved beer - and I certainly support the noble purpose. But it is a mediocre Pale Lager.

"From Ukraine With Love" according to the label. Fab, just like the James Bond Film, hopefully as good. Quite a unique bottle shape, looks amazing actually. It looks like an expensive beer for sure. In the bottle.
Out of the bottle, a fairly thin appearance, light head. Interesting aroma, sweet and like strawberries. Yes, strawberries.
Pretty terrible mouth feel. Almost no effervescence and mega thin. Compared with the Ukrains'ke Kiyevskoye that I just drank, this is not great. In terms of flavour I am detecting obvious alcohol elements, not much malt feel except flavours of malt, a little honey, and in terms of hops, it exists...but more like the hops in Cors light beer than actual hops, there is a light bitterness without any obvious flavours. Except for some reason I do also seem to taste some strawberry on the tongue. I really doubt the ingredients are just malt, water, yeast and hops. There are definitely some wierd taste sensations coming through here.
Like all beers with no mouthfeel, it tastes much better straight from the bottle. At least it has a bit of uniqueness in terms of its flavour. Its hops are mega light, as is the malt, as is pretty much everything. And the hops taste like strawberries. Overall, I'm not sure what there is to like about this, aside from the cool bottle shape. It's lighter than a light American beer. Which is so light, it is almost gas, but it doesn't make me laugh.
At least it is cheap and has a cool bottle design, and has no major off flavours. And the hops are just about detectable when taking a large swig. But only just.

Had that one time at a party back in the day. I have had a wicked lot of beers from these guys, most of which are not at all good whatsoever, this included.

355ml can poured into tulip. Bought this to support a good cause, then read the label to find out it's brewed by Anheuser-Busch and distributed by Labatt. That'll teach me.
Pours a pale straw yellow with one fat finger of snow white head that leaves a few chunks of lace as it recedes.
Smells of crispy pale malt, some bright citrus zest, apple skin, some earthy lager yeast and faint grass clippings.
Tastes of white bread, more zesty lemon and pomme fruitiness, and more mild grassy hops.
Feels light and fizzy. Light bodied with peppy carbonation. Finishes off-dry.
Verdict: Recommended. I suppose you could do worse. Hopefully the profits go towards a bomb or something.

I had this beer on-tap in a pint glass at the brewery. Proceeds go to support Ukraine.
Appearance: medium golden hue with a clear body and a thin layer of white foam atop. Looks refreshing.
Smell: a bit sweet with a dash of corniness to the malt. Nice.
Taste: malty and grainy with just a dash of adjunct grain character and a nice little bitter snap at the end. It's a very classic Euro pale lager, a good example of the style.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a good level of carbonation and creaminess.
Overall: super refreshing on this hot Tempe day and a solid example of the style.
