not a dead issue

Another gift!  It's a premium lager, from Ukraine of all places, produced by Carlsburg.  Actually, I shouldn't be too surprised at its origins, given that country's famed wheat fields.  Still, this isn't a wheat beer.  The label calls it "pasteurized light beer Lvivske 1715" and also has a good bit of Chinese at the bottom.  Another import lager after that calendar last year?

Well, it's got the typical industrial lager aroma, bitter and sharp.  Also, very pale, translucent, light head hangs around though.  Oh yes, it's a regular lager, with that bitter introduction that barely covers the grainy sweetness.  Despite the color, it isn't a thin and watery feeling beer, and in fact has quite a nice texture.  Bubbly, but not prickly.  There is a hint of aftertaste, somewhat bitter, but everything goes down smoothly and without much fuss.  This is definitely what I would expect to get in a pub somewhere, but my snobby palate ever longs for the craft beer bar.
