Obolon Extra Kyivske Lager Beer


 Obolon Extra Kyivske Lager Beer.

12% ABV, Obolon Brewery, Kyiv, Ukraine.

Drinking a Ukrainian beer, for obvious reasons. Not expecting it to be good, but that’s not the point. 

Clear and lightly clouded, bright golden hue, fine, lace leaving, ivory head. 

In the nose: smells like malt liquor! Grainy, corny, overly sweet. Vegetal. I’m anticipating a ton of booze. 

In the mouth: interesting. I’m gonna say “interesting.” The opposite of crisp. Not at all clean. A sweet, mushy mix of malt, some hops and a buttload of booze. 

But, if you just want a buzz, maybe it’s enough. I’m just drinking this to cheers Zelenskyy and Ukraine.

«Obolon Extra Strong» is a lager beer with a mild malt flavor combined with moderate hop bitterness and light wine tones. The peculiarity of the recipe is that the high alcohol content is achieved through the fermentation of high-gravity wort.
