The defining traits of a Ukrainian golden ale are its golden hue, a relatively high ABV, and a smooth, sweet finish balanced by soft bitterness. It sits somewhere between British golden ale and Belgian golden strong—stronger and less bitter than the former, yet without the yeast-derived flavors of the latter—and with a bit more body.
Note: this is a prototype recipe at this point that we hope comes close to the original; please brew with that caveat in mind and try to sample your finished product side-by-side and shoot us some feedback! We'll iterate the recipe as much as we can, as often as is necessary.
