Pours a saturated orange into a tapered mug, with a finger or two of white foam on top. Swirling and adding the yeast forms a cone-shaped column hovering in the glass like a tornado, kinda cool.

Initial aroma of orange and bubblegum, later minerally wheat and applesauce in the glass.

Medium bodied and wheaty, some clove and bubblegum traces that seem a little more hefeweizen than witbier. Some light orange surfaces in the middle and trace coriander seems present as well. Clean and not too sweet, its actually somewhat dry in the finish. This is actually pretty good, and more flavorful than Obolon Bile, another Ukrainian Witbier.

Poured from a brown 16.9 oz. bottle. Has a yellowish white color with a 1 inch head. Smell is fruity, sweet. Taste is of citrus, some spices, just a bit of sweetness, refreshing and easy drinking. Feels full bodied in the mouth and overall this is a solid beer.

Lvivske Bilyi Liv means Lvivske White Lion. Ingredients disappoint: natural flavor enhancers with wheat malts extract, barley, pectin, carbon dioxide. What the hell they do? Pours opaque cloudy yellow beer with good white head. Aroma of wheat malts, coriander and yeasts. I’m not able to evaluate smell correctly when they use flavor enhancers. Anyway, it is comparatively weak. The taste is plain and simple – wheat malts, spiced with flavor enhancers. Moderate carbonation, unpleasant palate. The beer is obviously poor and wasn’t made with love.
