The main (front) label

     Firstly your eye catches trade mark title and enterprise logotype. These moments give us information as for the beer manufacturer and the history of brewery. The brewery emblem tells us about the year of oldest brewery in Ukraine foundation – 1715; lion with the bocal in his hands shows the territorial location of brewery and underlines the traditions of beer drinking in Lviv. "Lvivske" trade mark title is written with print in style of XVIII century when the Lviv brewery appeared.

Premium
     We see this inscription on the bottom of the label. It means that the beer is of the highest category. In fact, "Premium" is world known beer categorization that points out the highest quality of the beer preparing materials. It provides beer with high taste characteristics according to International Quality Standard.

Alcohol 4,7 % – it is a volume alcohol percentage; in other words that is beer knock-downess. Light sorts have from 3,7 to 4 % of ethyl alcohol volume content (Lvivske "Light" and "1715"); beer with medium hardness has 4,2-5 % of ethyl alcohol ("Premium", "Temne" and "Vysokiy Zamok"). Sorts that have 7 % of ethyl alcohol are thought to be strong ("Mitsne" and "Porter"). When the hardness is 5 % in 0,5 l. of beer the bottle contains 25 ml of pure alcohol received as the result of fermentation. It is very interesting to underline that American beer manufacturers draw balance alcohol percentage that transformed into volume one by multiplication with coefficient of 1,26).

12 % – that is beer density or percentage of dry substances content in the primary wort before fermentation. Light sorts of beer have density within 10-18 %, dark ones have 12-20 %. Beer of medium density is good for easy drinking and it slakes one's thirst quickly. And beer with more density is stronger and more nourishing.

Necklace

     This label is placed around bottle neck. It is not of informative importance but is for beer manufacturer identification.





Contrlabel

     This label is placed on the contrary bottle side as for the main label and has a lot of important information.

Ingredients
     That is one of the most important beer characteristics. Even in Germany in 1516 there was passed a law about beer clearness. According to that law there was permission to make beer only from barley malt, hop and water. Usage of other ingredients was strictly forbidden. This demand is still of current importance nowadays. Brewers that want to be leaders among beer-lovers prepare beer according to the classical technology.
     In the mixture of different beer sorts you can meet rye or wheat malt, oats, rice, maize and even honey and fruit-berry additions. All this is for extraordinarity. To regret some brewers hide low taste qualities of the drink thanks to different additions. That is why there is some piece of advice: just check the professional and technological means of brewers on the classical drink. It is absolutely impossible to hide anything negative in all of the aspects: in odour, in color, in taste.
     Beer of good quality has to have fresh and pure sweet and hop taste and pleasant odour. Theses characteristics are predetermined by strict stickiness to manufacturing technologies, by high level of brewery clearness and by usage of selected natural materials like thoroughly selected hop, malt that is received from barley of high quality, and pure water. The water is put into multilevel filtration like sandy filters that have special sand from Indian Ocean coasts.
     "Lvivske" mixture also has ascorbic acid (all known C vitamin) that promotes stable quality of taste characteristics during the term of preservation.
     Information about beer type. Beer is divided into "light" and "dark" ones according to the colour. Besides mentioned beer types have their own taste and odour characteristics.
     Filling bocal with light beer you can limpidity, beer colour and cream like suds. Dark sorts of beer have rich colour and brightly expressed bitterness. Dark sorts have special kind of malt - caramel malt that is prepared with the help of another technology that is opposite to light malt preparation. This special kind of malt gives beer nice caramel taste.
     Pasteurized beer. This inscription calls a lot of disputes. What is much better: pasteurized beer or not pasteurized one? This question was solved a long time ago on the West. To provide taste qualities of amber drink preservation for longer periods manufacturers of famous beer brands use late invention - short-term pasteurization. For the period of 30 seconds while warming up (but not boiling!) barm cells that could lead to the beer spoiling are neutralized. Pasteurized beer can be saved in fridge for half of the year or more.

Food Value
     This index is more of great interest for women part of the humankind. The beer contains from 40 to 50 cCal in 100 g. That is a strange fact that different lemonades or colas have higher level of calories. Beer practically does not have fat that influences person's weight. That is why remember that it is impossible to get more weight thanks to beer (of course, except the cases when you prefer to eat a lot).

Address and contact enterprises
     Manufacturers who are sure in their quality level aim at dialogue with consumers. That is why "Lviv Brewery" Public Company despite complete enterprise address points out the "hot" telephone number ant electronic address on the label in case of any questions, wishes or suggestions.

Certification Mark
     Here should be mentioned that according to the Law of Ukraine beer is not for obligatory certification. Initiative of Lviv brewers is aimed at providing consumers with additional production quality guaranties.
     That is also important to pay attention to the conditions of beer preserving mentioned at the label and to the production date and the term of the late convenience of the drink. These terms have to be mentioned on the special place stood out against a background of color or drawn with the special method of notching on the frame around contrlabel.
