Yantar Lager (50cl, 5%)

Yantar Lager is a Ukrainian lager brewed by Yantar Brewery in Mykolaiv, Ukraine, at 5% ABV. The brewery was built in 1973 on a Czech brewery design, and the lager is brewed from barley, hops and malt. The aroma opens with light grain and gentle malt sweetness, with subtle hop character underneath. On the palate it is smooth, with a balanced interplay of malt and hops, light grain and a trace of sweet fruit reminiscent of dried figs. Medium-strong carbonation keeps the light-to-medium body lively. The finish is clean, with lingering sweetness that fades evenly and no excessive bitterness.
