(Kiev 2016) Sampled draft @ Wooly Hops. Dark amber, creamy tanned head. Nose is massive cheesy hops, some pine resin & low grain. Taste is oily hop tea, tea leaves, cheesy hops, hops seem to be cheese due to the age or at least this one felt like that, meaning the beer is fresh but I think that they used old hops, hop tea oil quality of this one is nice but the hops are a touch too cheese & touch too less pine. Hop tea body. Still virtually all supposedly hoppy Ukrainian beers in general lacked all hop character, this one has lots of it. I can see why the waiter was excited about this beer, one of the finest Ukrainian beers I tried, despite not being marked as an IPA, closes i saw a beer approach an American style IPA in taste while I was there.
