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.

Аромат ипы кислой, но есть дерева как будто много, потому что пил банка которая вышла из срока годности уже 3 года назад. Вкус такой же, слегка протухший, хотя кислинка прям в стиле, и даже хмель ощущается. Пиво в стиле и хорошее, но срок годности вышел давно.

Can from Beerdome. Aroma is cucumber, pickled gherkins, lime, dill, and mint. Flavour is tart and sourish. Body is light to medium. Curiousity got the better of me. Weird, not a fan.

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Unusual herbal hop aroma with green berries, candied fruits, citrus, malt, orange, herbal notes, touch of melon. Sweet flavour with a moderate bitterness and a little alcohol in the finish. Body is above medium. A bit strange, not unpleasant but sweet with herbal-ish green berry hop.

Can from Drankenspeciaalzaak Jelle, Leeuwarden. Aroma is heavy on the lupulin powder with citrus, tropical fruits, orange, grapefruit. Very powdery, mild sweet, moderate to medium bitter. A bit too 'dusty' overall for my taste with all that lupulin powder.

Bottle from Beer Republic. Aroma is hoppy and malty with caramel, berries, pine resin, sugary fruits, notes of grapefruit and ripe orange. Big bittersweet flavour. Body is medium to full with a bit of a sticky texture. A welcome change of tune in the haze era, heavily malty with potent bitter resinous hops.

Аромат очень сладкий, Сильно ощущается молочный бельгийский шоколад и совсем немного карамели и солода. Пена средняя, кофейная. Вкус на удивление вообще не маслянистый и вовсе весьма не тяжелый. По началу очень сладкий, один шоколад. Немного жженки при глотке, но все же мягкой. Послевкусие быстрое, не продолжительное и не яркое. Снова мягкость и легкая карамельно-шоколадная приторность. В целом отличный балтийский портер от наших пивоваров.

Аромат цитрусовый но химозный. Также есть не естественные сладкие фрукты. Цвет чуть темнее чем у витбира классического. Вкус к сожалению также отдает хиомозой. Ощущаются цитрусы по началу. После глотка чувствуется немного сладкие фрукты, без пшенички и кориандра. В целом не очень.

Аромат фруктовый, персики, манго, немного хмеля. Цвет дико мутный, темно желтый, пена легкая только в начале. Вкус не сильно хмелевой, более фруктовый, как пюре. Вкус фруктов в послевкусие усиливается вместе с американскими хмелями. Естественно чувствуется хмелевая горчинка, но не сильная, даже не тянет на заявленные 40 ибу. В целом хороший вариант.
