It’s almost summer, which means it would be nice to have a beer. A light, wheat, refreshing beer. I will review three domestic craft beers.
Fortunate season, wheat ale
I already drank it past its expiration date, but it seems the beer didn't spoil or turn sour. It has a mild aroma with hints of spices; the taste is sweet and soft, but not without a strong hoppy aftertaste. You can feel the spice, but not strongly, unless you drink it in small sips (by the way, it's worth trying, as the flavor changes significantly). Not bad wheat ale, quite cheap for a craft beer, but if they offer me a choice between this one and draft from "Zernogut," I will choose the latter. After all, it is more spring-autumn hoppy and spicy than refreshingly summery. But overall – decent craft beer at a reasonable price, 7/10.
White Robot, doppelbock
Wonderful! (or “awesome!”, as my traumatologist taught me to say when he was stitching up my arm in Yeltsa). It would seem that this isn’t the right genre; Doppelbock is a strong beer for winter and autumn, but it fits perfectly. The aroma is very mild, slightly sweet and malty, and floral/herbal, exactly herbal, not spicy. It feels like you are standing in the middle of a summer meadow. The taste is just as mild and sweet, with minimal hops. The alcohol content is 7.1%, but you don't even feel it in the taste. Excellent beer for almost any season (except winter, in my opinion), although it is somewhat expensive. If you see it, I recommend buying it. 8.5/10
P.S. It is quite interesting to pair this beer with honey (with apples, ideally). Then the sweetness of the beer will go away, and the herbal notes will be better felt.
