Dream big. Always dream big, you know. We started small because at the beginning the only thing we had was our dream. We haven't owned any equipment, so our first brews were born at other city and other mash tun entirely. But we took one step at the time and soon our very own, very handcrafted and assembled by hand brewery arrived from Bila Tserkva. We installed it here in Kyiv at the premises of the former lumber house – “lisopylka” in Ukrainian, hence the name of the brew-pub – and continued the pursuit of our dream.
Today we have new state-of-the-art brewery and immensely proud of it. Don't think that we discarded our small but utterly loved old brewing system, because we have, yes you've guessed, BIG plans for it. And we keep on dreaming big. We just want to share this dream of better beer, sheer enjoyment of the drink, greater and more diverse beer culture, share it with you.

Pours black, big , slgithly tanned head of average stability. Scent is ice cream forward. Bit of strawberry. Very chemical. Taste is sweetish, very sugary and basic sweetness. Chemical flavors of synthetic strawberry. Chocolate and vanilla dont really surface. Over the top pastry, little stout left, and the additions dont seem all that great either.

Clear golden with a white head. Toasted malt, good bitterness, citrus, pine notes. Medium bodied. Finish has a good lasting bitterness. Very good in the classic style.

Getting the mosaic induced blueberry from the start, settling into a cross section of tropical and citrus fruity goodness, malty support, pine needless, bitter edged hoppy close.

Dark roasted malty with notes of chocolate, some subtle chilli spice ?? notes of caramel and fudge light sweetness, ashy roast, dark spiced lingering malty finish. Good stuff.

Medium sweet bready doughy malts, hay, straw, grass, cereal, light wheaty and more bready notes, light citrus lemony linger into the close. Interesting.

Bottle shared at Brewver Belgian Winter Gathering. Clear pale orangy color, no head. Aroma and flavor are lightly malts, softly light sour fruity hint. Hard to describe properly. 7-6-6-6-6
