Slavutych Pivo (Slavutich Premium)

Pours pale gold with a fluffy white head and some active carbonation. Decent retention (although it does kinda shrink together) and even a small amount of lacing. Aroma is grainy with some malt. Flavour is more of the same but it goes down well with medium carbonation and a thin mouthfeel. My first Ukrainian beer.

Okay, a very pale golden colour that was see-through. Yuck. A generous frothy white head that disappears to nothing within seconds. Yuck. A grainy aroma with a sharp aroma. Yuck. A grassy taste with a slight hint of bitterness. Yuck.

A very refreshing Pale lager just above average in my book...Easy to drink like many others they produce in eastern Europe...Taste good something we can compare to our macro commercial beer in Canada...Reccomended for the price and his drinkability...And the pleasure to introduce Ukkrainien beer to your friends...

It poured a translucent pale gold colour with little or no head. The aroma was very yeasty yet pleasant. The mouthfeel was crisp and clean with hints of carbonation. The taste was a combination of yeast and malt with a slight citrus tinge that was unexpected.

Greeted with a horrible first whiff. Off to a good start! Standard gold Euro lager with some stuff floating around when dumped out produced a large white rocky cap that has left the dirtiest glass that I've seen in a long time. After the head settled down it left a crouton sized chunk bobbing around like a little beer iceberg. The aroma is better now - still stinky - not skunky, more pee like. Grainy malts and some sweetness...very standard, aside from the pee, the chemicals and the brutal initial fumes that pretty much killed this beer one second in. Taste is pretty much what one would expect from a beer in this style that they expect nothing from - Grains, obvious alcohol (and only 5.3%!!), some chemicals and a solid bitterness. Some woody flavour as well. Overall the mouthfeel isn't that bad, but I've been left with a crappy chemical taste in my mouth. Thin bodied, highly carbonated and intitial bitter leftovers. Some malty finish - a pretty rough beer overall that is pretty much a waste of your money even if you bought it just to drink a brew from Ukraine or just to get a review in. On principle, I drank the whole thing although I really didn't want to. The gas is incredible. CRAP BEER.

Similar to the strong ale I had a while back only more subdued. Bright yellow pour with a thin head and minimal lacing. Faint malty aroma slightly fruity. Nice and light bodied. Flavor has a nice sweetness coupled with a faint bitterness. Kind of off balance and tacky all around but still drinkable.

Typical European lager, with that unique grass/grain/skunky-but-not-actually-skunky aroma, same old pale gold colour, crisp clean mouthfeel and grainy taste with a finish that stays. Did I miss anything?

Pale golden in colour, initially has a medium sized white head but quickly dissipated to a wispy white ring around the edge of the glass, no lacing. The aroma was quite grainy, some cereal, wheat, corn with some grassy hops. The flavour was pretty much bang on with the aroma, nothing out of the ordinary with this pale lager. Mildly bitter mouthfeel, medium/light body, high carbonation. Finishes crisp, lightly bitter, watery, farily quick.

First time having a beer from Ukraine. Wasn't bad at all. Didn't smell like much. Taste was good. Almost spicey. Head didn't last very long at all. Mouthfeel is bubbly. Not creamy at all. I would drink this beer again. It's quite refreshing.

The aroma is actually nice with some nice maltiness coming through with some slight graininess as well as straw and hay with some hop presence. The appearance is a nice and golden yeloow that has some haziness with a head on top that is full and creamy as well as fuzzy and diminishes to a light and rocky lacing that is white in color and very carbonated. The mouthfeel is light-bodied with some complexity and balance with a palate that is a bit watery and wet. The flavor is synthetic-like and metallic with some graininess and an aftertaste that is malty and a bit sweet with a finish that is okay but watery and a bit muddled and boring. Overall, all these Eastern-European brews have metallic in the taste and I wish I knew what it was, anyway, very decent brew here.
