Lvivske Premium Lager

Mrs. Publican picked up a couple of beers at the local gas, grocery, and MLCC mart this evening.  One of them was this Lvivske Premium, which I've tried before.  She's of Polish descent, so she's naturally biased toward this Ukranian lager.

It pours cloudy and yellow, appearing very similar in appearance to the urine you will produce within an hour or so of drinking it.  There's about a finger or so of dingy white head, but it dissipates quickly and leaves only a few bubbly smears behind.  The aroma is hoppy, somewhat generic, and rather forgettable.

The taste is mildly sweet and smooth, but a mite on the dry side.  The flavor is mostly of hops, but it's nicely rounded and full, giving it a decidedly bread-like quality.  Finish is a bit dry, but not obnoxiously so.

The Bottom Line:  Easily drunk and easily forgotten.

The Rating:  Perhaps the firmest "Eh" I've ever handed down.
