Description
AF Brew is one of the pioneers of Russian craft beer revolution. We started the show in the ‘faraway’ 2012 in St. Petersburg, the most beer-focused and heritage city of Russia. Four years ago we started as a gipsy brewery having launched one of the first accessible craft beers in Russia – Ingria IPA, with the name dedicated to historically disputed region where the city of St. Petersburg is located. Our primary mission has never changed since then – we brew beer which was never brewed before and we keep no rules. November 2016 we turned the biggest page in our history: we finally built our very own brewery in our home city. The brewery is located on the historical site of 18-19th century city brewery and we did our best to make it a very nice and devoted place to brew and to spend time in. The open plan site with 20 hl brewing system and 400 hl fermentation capacity is supposed to grow twice in two years. It is already a home base for all our brews, collaborations and guest projects. It’s coupled with a barrel-room full of various wood-aging stuff and a taproom to drink, talk and have fun around.

Bottle shared at work. Must be a pretty good IPA, cause the bottle we had was evidently tired a bit, yet still tasted quite aight, Mosaic was definitely there.

Straight from the can, huge thanks to Max for this one. Obviously no closer look on the appearance and hardly got any aromas either. Tastewise it's pretty fruity, passion fruid dominates with the lacto-sourness, but the other two fruits are definitely there, mainly the mango, providing some sweetness to it. Long lasting, slightly sweet, rather tart finish, light body, average to high carbonation.

Can at home. Pours hazy, juicy golden with white head. Nose is big tropical fruits, cantaloupe and mango, light cedar, some booze. Taste is cantaloupe, ripe stonefruits, big candy and booze sweetness. So much so good, but the alcohol stands out here and there to an unpleasant extent. Medium to heavy body, soft carbo. Decent and all but it could be even better if it wasnt for the occasional alcohol burn.

Canshared with Nari and Gabor Gábor. Pour a glowing orangeish golden with white head. Nose is intense fruity, peach and lime lead with hints of passion fruit. Taste is moderately tart and perhaps somewhat swert, but definitely nicely balanced, showing all the fruits that are in there. Closes with a long lasting, intensely fruity finish, has a light to medium body and soft carbonation, drinks well below the ABV.

Can shared with Gabor Gábor and Undos. Deep brown to black pour, thin, off-white head. Nose is intense tropical fruits, full NEIPA. Taste is low bitterness, light to mid, fruity sweetness with just a touch of dark malts. Closes with a fruity finish, has a light to meidum, semi-creamy body and soft carbonation. I'm admittedly partial to black IPAs, but this is great!
