I unexpectedly found a 500 ml can at the Total Wine on Hulen St in Ft Worth early this summer. This will be my first Ukraine beer, glad to have it. As a nod to where I bought the beer, I will use my Cowtown snifter from Ft. Worth. The pour is a darkish amber-gold with a sparse skim of absolutely white foam. The nose is essentially your basic beer smell though bigger. I attribute that to the 12% abv. I have a drink, well, this is a decent beer. Grain, caramel, citrus mostly lemon and grapefruit, honey, hay and hellfire and damnation. And I get a barley wine effect too. This is a more complex beer than anticipated. I would buy if I saw it again, slim chance.

0,5 boks fra Statens postordrekatalog, hjemme: klar gylden med fint skum som varer. Lukter og smaker lys malt, alkohol, litt citrus og hint av furunål. Tenker at den kurerer sosial famling både raskt og effektivt, men som medikamenter flest smaker den ikke særlig godt.

500 ml can, as Obolon Extra Strong, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 12%. Clear golden colour, large tan head. Sweetish aroma of malts and alcohol.The flavour is way too sweet and alcholic, but at least there are some hops trying (without much success) to balance some of the sweetness. Not totally undrinkable though.

Skunk and nail polish nose. Clear deep amber, medium slightly yellow head, abundant lace. Honey, wood, nail polish. Apple brandy and amaretto notes appear upon warming Medium body, easy carbonation. Cloying, chemical, but not without character. I accidentally bought two of these, thinking they were different beers. It's going to be an interesting evening.

50cl can. PBF XIV. Poured clear and deep golden in color. Aroma is nasty, glue and chemicals. Sweet and with notes of apple. Quite the horror tick.
