Last week of January I spend in Ukraine in Kiev. Here I'm showing what found new in Kiev.
In brackets is shown beer characteristics.
Sample: (0,5 L; 4,5; 11%) -volume 0,5 liter; 4,5 - alcohol content; 11% - original gravity
Tinkoff platinum, (0,33 L; 5,0; 13%), "Interbeer" brewery, Russia
I never paid attention to Tinkoff in Ukraine in the past. Simple Tinkoff... And I decided to check. Most of bottles has the same label as in Russia and only additional label in Ukrainian. In the very first supermarket I found two labels in Ukrainian and checked other in different shops. As a result I realised as follows. On this bottle of "Platinum" mentioned producer Private brewery "Tinkoff" as producer.
Tinkoff platinum, (0,33 L; 5,0; 13%), "Interbeer" brewery, Russia
On this label already mentioned "Interbeer" brewery .
Tinkoff white, (0,33 L; 5,2; 13%), "Interbeer" brewery, Russia
On the label "white" is still "Tinkoff" as producer.
Tinkoff golden, (0,33 L; 6,0; 14%), "Interbeer" brewery, Russia
On the other sort labels printed "Interbeer" brewery .
Tekiza, (0,33 L; 3,5; 11,5%), "Interbeer" brewery, Russia
Ukrainian collegues found 6 labels in Ukrainian. I found only 5. Lets search.
22 Ginger, (0,45 L; 9,5; 22%), "Nezhin" brewery, Ukraine
New sort of "Nezhin" brewery "Ginger-beer". I very like ginger beer in general. But I didn't like this sort. I gues it is too much alcohol. Beer was bottled into unusual volume bottle - 0,45 liter.
Wheat-beer Standard, (0,5 L; 5,0; 12%), "Radomyshl" brewery, Ukraine
By my mind it is the best wheat beer in Ukraine. "Radomyshl" brewery started brewing of this beer rather old but labels had no changes from this time. On the label I found some changes.
Platinum Light, (0,5 L; 6,5; 15%), First Private brewery, Ukraine
My collegue brought from Lvov this bottle of beer. Up to now I met "Platinum light" only in 1 liter PET bottle. This one bottled in glass bottle.
Obolon Premium, (0,33 L; 5,2; 12%), "Obolon" brewery, Ukraine
I decided to check "Obolon" labels and realised that most of labels differ from previous versiones.
At the very first time I found "Premium" in small bottle.

The background color was changed dramatically on this label.
Magnate, (0,33 L; 5,3; 12%), "Obolon" brewery, Ukraine
I never met "Magnate" in small bottles. Moreover new medal appeared on this label.
Obolon Sobornoe, (0,5 L; 4,9; 11,5%), "Obolon" brewery, Ukraine
"Sobornoe" became stronger from 4,7% to 4,9. And near name "Obolon" sign became bigger.

Alivarya Golden, (0,5 L; 5,1; 12%), "Alivarya" brewery, Belorussia
