Fruit Beer 12.3 º

AF Brew
Stamm Brewing

Mezga represents a bold collaboration between AF Brew and Stamm Brewing, blurring the lines between a potent Fruit Beer and a rich fruit wine. At a substantial 12.3% ABV, it presents a deep, saturated profile dominated by lush blueberry and tart raspberry. The aroma is a concentrated burst of jammy berries and vinous esters, supported by a sturdy, velvet-like malt foundation. On the palate, the interplay of sweet berry compote and bright acidity creates a complex, warming experience. The finish is long and sophisticated, balancing the natural tannins of the fruit with a refined alcohol warmth, reminiscent of a berry-infused strong ale.

Appearance. Deep, saturated purple to ruby-black (SRM 35+); dense, pink-tinted head with moderate retention and fine lacing; opaque to hazy due to high fruit concentration.

Aroma. High intensity of jammy blueberry and sharp, zesty raspberry; prominent vinous alcohol esters and a subtle background of sweet, bready malt; negligible hop aroma to allow the fruit to dominate.

Taste. Initial burst of sweet berry preserves and dark fruit; rich blueberry sweetness is countered by the bright, tangy acidity of raspberry; low hop bitterness provides just enough balance to the substantial malt backbone; finish is long and warming with lingering berry skin and a pleasant vinous dryness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a smooth, slightly syrupy texture; moderate carbonation; significant alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated; light, pleasant tannic astringency from the fruit skins.
