Dargett Craft Beer
Commercial Brewery
in Abovyan,
Kotayk,
Armenia 🇦🇲
Associated Venue: Dargett Craft Beer
Established in 2016
Initially, beers were only brewed at the brewpub in Yerevan. Later a large brewery was opened in the Abovyan province.
* Please note that some beers have two names - this stemmed from the brewpub using original names and the mass-distributed beers using generic names. For example, their Black IPA was initially called Milestones, yet when it was released for the wider market it was titled simply Black IPA.

Pours slightly hazy golden with almost no head. The aroma is very fruity, dominated by pronounced banana notes typical of weizen yeast. On the palate, the beer feels rather thin, with the banana character taking center stage and overshadowing other potential flavors. While the fruitiness is expressive and stylistically appropriate, it becomes somewhat overpowering over time, limiting balance and depth. Overall: a recognizable and approachable wheat beer, but one where the yeast-driven banana character is too dominant for sustained enjoyment.

Pours a clear gold-orange body with a thin but stable layer of foam. The aroma is initially restrained, showing light hop notes and a soft malty base, with just a subtle hint of apricot. On the palate, the apricot comes through much more clearly and confidently, delivering a full, ripe fruit character that feels unusual but surprisingly well integrated. The fruit sweetness is balanced by a gentle bitterness and a light, refreshing tartness, keeping the beer from becoming cloying. Mouthfeel is smooth and easy, supporting the fruit without overpowering it. Overall: a pleasant and approachable fruit ale that showcases apricot in a natural, well-balanced way. Different, but enjoyable and refreshing.

Sample, thanks Robin Svensson. Clear golden, no head. Mildly leathery apple aroma. Mid sweet with light to medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Rather conentrated appke flavour, no funkiness, but notes of leather. Slight apple skin bitterness.
Thanks Arjen K.

Opaque dark brown with a small short-lived head. Roasted, & toasted, chocolate, acids, slightly phenolic, dried fruits, some hop. Rather dry. Light sour. Low bitterness. Not a good barrel work in my vision.

Bottle at Cafe Samson, Nijmegen. Sweet with an aroma of banana, citrus, some wheaty malt and spicy yeast. Lacks the finesse of a good Weizen. Medium body.

Bottle from Beerdome. Aroma is roasted malt with grapey brandy, dried dark fruit, oak, some dark chocolate. Lightly tart with a mild sweetness and some bitterness in the finish. A bit thin for the style and abv.
