For obvious reasons, the Ukrainian kolos could no longer be "schieve"… No, he has to be victorious! Therefore we changed him to simply KOLOS, and she became female.
Juliana Babii, brewer at Pravda Brewery, our friends in Lviv, crossed the Ukrainian-Polish border together with the refugees, to come brew Kolos with us in Brussels. Two days later she returned to her homeland at war, to keep on brewing there despite the horrifying conditions.
Kolos is a refreshing summer beer. She is brewed with wheat, rye, spelt and barley malts, to pay homage to the grain culture of Ukraine. We dry-hopped her with Zachrava, a Ukrainian hop, which makes her floral and spicy in the nose.
The profits of the sale will be donated to a solidarity fund that houses and feeds the massive amounts of refugees that have flood the city of Lviv. By drinking Kolos you will contribute to this fund.
We thank you all in advance for your support!

Bottle: Poured a yellow color ale with a large pure white foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of rustic malt notes with some peppery notes. Taste is also a mix of rustic malt notes with some peppery yeast notes and light rye presence also noted and some dry hops. Body is a bit thin with some good carbonation. Well made saison but not the biggest fan of Zachrava hops.

(Draught at Brasserie de la Senne, Brussels, 22 Oct 2022) Hazy golden yellow colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of bread, orange, apricots and herbs. Malty, fruity, spicy taste with bread, grain, hay, citrus, apricots and a balanced herbal bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty, complex and refreshing. Very nice.

33cl Fles van De Bierkoning. Mistig-gele kleur, witte kraag. Bloemig, citroen, citroenrasp, licht moutig, droog, bisongras, licht kruidig, vrij bitter. Lichte body. Vrij generiek De La Senne-bier, en dan niet hun beste. Desondanks nog altijd bovengemiddeld goed.
