КОРІННЯ
Korinja
Ukrainian Buckwheat Ale - smooth, honest and quietly expressive.
Korinja is a Ukainian buckwheat ale brewed in Mallorca. It is atribute to the Ukrainian roots of our family –
to people, traditions and stories that continue to shape who we are today.
Brewed with buckwheat and crafted with respect, this unfiltered ale combines heritage with a soft,
bread-like character and surprising depth.
A tribute to roots
Korinja – meaning “roots” – is a tribute to the Ukrainian roots of our family. To origin, to history, and to the people who are part of it.
Brewed with buckwheat – a grain deeply rooted in Ukrainian tradition – this beer expresses honesty and depth. Bread-like, soft on the palate, yet carrying a quiet strength.
Top-fermented and naturally matured, it is not a light summer beer, but one with character and substance.
Limited release. Brewed with respect.
Character & Composition of our Buckwheat Ale from Mallorca
Korinja is not a conventional style beer – it is a composition shaped by ingredient, process and intention.
Brewed with buckwheat, a grain deeply rooted in Ukrainian tradition, it brings a distinct, slightly nutty and bread-like character. The body is soft and rounded, supported by a gentle natural carbonation from bottle conditioning.
Fermented with Norwegian kveik yeast, intentionally kept at moderate temperatures to preserve balance and restraint. Subtle fruity notes remain in the background, supporting rather than dominating the profile.
At 6.6% ABV, it carries a quiet strength – not heavy, but present. A beer that unfolds slowly rather than demanding attention.

Taste Profile
Korinja opens with a soft, rounded mouthfeel and a gentle natural carbonation.
On the palate, subtle bread-like notes and a mild nuttiness from the buckwheat take the lead,
supported by a clean malt backbone. The bitterness remains restrained, allowing the flavours to unfold gradually.
A delicate touch of fruit from the kveik fermentation adds complexity without ever becoming dominant.
The finish is smooth, slightly warming and quietly persistent – a beer that invites another sip rather than overwhelming the senses.
Not made for quick refreshment, but for quiet moments.
