Some Russian beer bar in Moscow: pours hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma is yeasty, bubblegum, light fruit. Taste is lightly sweet. Bit dry. Fruity and floral. Kind of metallic notes. Pretty legit.

50 cl bottle. Pours dark yellow color, cloudy, with a thick creamy white head. Stingy spicy nose, perfumed. Aroma: well spiced with wheat malts, lots of citrus, balsamic, herbs, grassy hops, lemon. Floral and fruity overtones Taste is neither too sweet or too bitter, sits nicely in between, acidic, tart with hints of vinegar. Finish is dry, spicy, with a dusty yeast leftover a wheat trail. Sharp, refreshing and damn tasty.

50 cl bottle, 8.5%. Dark orange color, unfiltered, creamy offwhite head. What spreads out immediately is an intense smell of chestnut honey. Very aromatic and perfumed. Aroma fuses honey with a massive mixture of malts, wheats, spices, all wrapped in a soft blanket of yeast. Taste is sweet, intense properly backed with an hops spine, with warm alcohol leading to a moderately bittter finish. Finish i long, aromatic, dry, while lips remain sticky. A very peculiar brew, well balanced and designed to leave a good impression.

50 cl bottle, 4.5%. Light orange color, unfiltered, big fine white head. Spicy nose. Aroma is softly spicy, basil, cardamom, lemon, mentha, herbs, nettle. Wheat on the malts side. Herbal hops in background, subtle. Taste is rather flat, just a little of bitterness. Mouthfeel is soft, fluffy, airy. The finish is dry, a bit astringent and balsamic/aromatic. Fresh and good for summer indeed, peculiar spicy one.

50 cl bottl, 4.5%. Cloudy yellow color, big fuffy white head that stays until the end of the glass. Spicy nose. Aroma is wheat with spices, coriander and bitter orange peel, yeast is all around but not intrusive, rather wrapping. Proper hoppy backend, refreshing and pleasantly bitter. Soft and fluffy mouthfeel, almost creamy with a dusty thing, proper carbonation. Finish is dry and slightly sour. Fresh, perfumed and more bodied than hoegaarden. A perfect wit, well balanced and enjoyable.

50 cl bottle, 5.5%. Dark orange colour, cloudy, lots of yeast in suspension, big offwhite head lacing until the end. Massive nose of hops already off the cap, "skunky" indeed as name suggests. Aroma is full of american hops, with orange peel and citrus with a hint of something between soda and soap. Malts have a minor role here and as well as yeast are covered by hops. Yeast gives an earthy tone. Spicy as it warms up. Taste is crisp, straight, intensely bitter. Body is light, carbonation is proper and tingling, fluffy mouthfeel and pretty smooth. Finish is long, grassy and extra dry. Not an expert of APA since are quite unknown here, but i guess that’s what an APA should be. Very good, "green", wild hops everywhere. Sharp and refreshing.
