The Ukrainian golden ale 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. A light touch of coriander is typical, while you have some room to play with the hop aroma.

For much more about this style and why it deserves wider recognition on its own merits, see The Battle for the Fields of Gold.
