About a year ago, New Riga’s Brewery sold its beer in the Pyaterochka shop. However, it was subsequently removed from sale, and it was the right decision. Pyaterochka customers did not appreciate the beer, sales were small, and the beer on the shelf was simply spoiling due to not having the best storage conditions.
But the Perekrestok shop kept the beer from New Riga’s. The level of this shop is still higher. And today I noticed a new product there – Blanche Amocucinare.
Blanche Amocucinare (Russia, Volokolamsk) is good! I love blanches. However, this beer has rather odd characteristics: at 12% extractivity of the initial wort, it’s only 4% alcohol. The aroma is weak for this style. The flavor is watery and lacks richness. In the aftertaste, citrus, and coriander, which should be noticeable and pleasant, are quite noticeable and pleasant.
I don’t know if this beer was intended to be this way (some might say “light”), but I still imagine the blanche to be a bit different. Yes, there are no defects in Amocucinare. It’s clean and smooth, but it’s very dull. Grade of C+.
