Description
Ārpus Brewing Co. is an independent microbrewery, founded in 2017 by craft beer geeks from Latvia. We brew what we love - juicy hop forward ales, fruity sour beers and bold imperial stouts - and we’re proud that Ārpus Brewing Co. is voted as #1 brewery in the Baltic States on Untappd.

We chose Latvian word Ārpus for the name of our brewery, as its meaning reflects the types of beers we brew - outside the box, beyond the mass made lagers, beers with overwhelming flavours and aromas for people brave enough to step out of their comfort zone.

The brewery is located just outside Riga (Latvia), equipped with a 10hL brewhouse and 20hL fermentation vessels. Our beer is packaged in 440mL cans and KeyKegs, then stored in a cold room to keep it fresh longer.

Resplandeciente color naranja, turbio y opaco, bajo una corona de espuma amarillenta de media-baja retención. Aroma dulcemente afrutado , con notas de albaricoque maduro y establo. En boca es un jugoso estallido agridulce y afrutado, literalmente se sienten chispas en la boca. Ligeramente ácida y seca. Divertida, disfrutable y muy rica

Can. Just a light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head with a fairly limited life span. Light smooth palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, pretty sweet, two notches too sweet for my palate. Mild smooth cooling pine. Lots of modern Mosaic candy fruits, a little blueberry sitting in the background. Mild Rakau exotics on the back end, adding complexity and interest but, not enough to drag this one back from being, imho, an oversweet affair.

Can from the packie.
Pours a dark brown color with garnet at the edges, and a large frothy rocky tan head that shows great retention. Old school pine and resin hit the nose as soon as liquid meets glass. light caramel roastiness to counter. More roast and bitter chocolate in the flavor with a lingering resinous bitterness. Creamy luscious mouthfeel up front but light hop astringency lingers in the finish. Overall pretty solid from a style I don't see much anymore. Great beer after clearing the snow off the driveway.

Full body, med carbo. Very high bitterness, borderline obstructive. Med-high sweetness too, cereal. And medium warmth to boot. Lots of citrusy, zesty hops character. Not incredibly nuanced, rather strong af. Interesting, good. Only a sample though.

Med-full body, med carbo. High bitterness, med cereal sweetness. Med-light warmth. Lots of citrusy, med piney, zesty hops character. Very juicy. Intense. Not the most complex hops profile, but works. Good one.

440ml can. Murky golden with a white head. Aroma of peaches, grapefruit, some citrus zest. Taste of sweet stone fruits, peaches, papaya, grapefruit, lime, some earthy overtones seem out of place, pithy hop finish. Medium-full bodied, smooth.

A murky and light yellow beer, a head is quite smal and white. Aroma has grapefruit, mango, aslo some green herbs. Taste has richness of fruits, green herbs. Medium+ bodied. Green flavours are disappointment.
