Opillia Koryfei Lager (50cl, 4.2%)

A Ukrainian pale lager brewed by Opillia Brewery in Ternopil at 4.2% ABV, in a 500ml bottle. It follows the 1516 Bavarian Beer Purity Law, using only malting barley malt, purified water, hops and brewer's yeast, and earned a Silver medal at the 2016 Ukrpyvo quality competition. The beer is cold-conditioned in Austrian-type camp cellars at +1 to +2°C. The aroma brings gentle grain and white cracker notes, with a subtle earthy hop character and faint bread-dough sweetness. The palate is soft and malty with mild sweetness, moderate hop bitterness and a light licorice-like malt undertone. The finish is clean, crisp and dry, with a pleasant sweet pale-malt aftertaste.
