ukrainian golden ale

 

First brewed in 2009 in Donetsk, rising from a brew-pub novelty to a high-volume beer, produced by numerous breweries.
This beer style is a golden ale inspired by Strong Belgian counterparts, but not as dry, has malt sweetness particularly noticeable on the finish, lower alcohol content (6 - 7.5% ABV) and a fuller body since no sugar is added. Yeast profile is neutral or just a touch phenolic. Brewers can use modern hop varieties on dry-hop, and coriander is often added.
