Unlike the products of Moscow’s brewpubs, this one is gloriously unfiltered. It is more opaque than Widmer Hefeweizen, and with a thick head. The aroma is fruity, doughy (pineapple, melon, chocolate chip cookie). The flavour is rounded, doughy, slightly sweaty and full of body. Doughy finish. There is a huge yeast pile at the bottom of the glass. It looks like it’s not done fermenting, but to taste it, it’s plenty done.

Clear golden colour with thin head. Malty, slightly fruity aroma - pears, pomegranites and figs. Clean malty palate. Delicate hop overtones bring peaches and pears. Full body for style. Refreshing in the scorching Uzbek sun, and perfect example of why I believe it’s okay to be merciless with crappy tropical lagers.
