ABV: 4.5% IBU: - Ticks: 14
The Stakanov is a Session Beer with an orange, slightly coated colour, with a very persistent white and creamy head. Inebriating and “catchy” thanks to the use of only the Centennial hop, letting out aromas and tastes which are particularly fruity and citrusy, with notes of orange dominating over call-backs to tastes of mandarin and grapefruit.

On a second level one may perceive floral and herbal notes. A beer which is characterised by the perfect balance between malts and hops, leading to a surprisingly refined bitterfinish.

Bottiglia. Il naso riconosce segni di luppolo. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è media. Il piano sottostante è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è giallo dorato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è intenso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di amaro. Il retrogusto è intenso. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, crosta di pane, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, pino, agrumi, pompelmo, ananas, arancia amara, mandarino, limone, spezie e lime.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

J'ai été plutôt agréablement surpris par cette Stakanov qui est globalement agréable et relativement bien équilibrée. En bouche, cela maque tout de même de cops, et sur l'es arômes, rien d'exceptionnel en soi, amis le Centennial est bien respecté. En verre, blond doré orangé partiellement voilé et surmonté d'une très fine mousse blanche (1 mm). Les nez est agréable : agrumes, fruits exotiques et miel. L'attaque est acidulée, herbacée avec de légers arômes d'agrumes et d'épices. La deuxième est linéaire avec des fruits exotiques. L’arrière est quant à elle linéaire et manque d’ampleur. Le final, relativement sec et au maximum d'amertume (celle-ci restant contenue tout de même), manque de longueur mais également quelque peu de caractère sur des arômes herbacés et de pamplemousse. L'ensemble est relativement peu sucré et l'alcool à 4,5 % est très respectable pour un équilibre bien pensé. Une bière d'été, sans plus de prétention, qui se boit en terrasse par un après-midi ensoleiilé.

Bottle from Terre de Boissons Calais and drunk at home. Dark amber brown slight haze lasting cream head. Hoppy grapefruit aroma. Decent light session ipa. Good session ipa. Good sweetness from the malt and then goid fruit and some bitterness. Loved the pink grapefruit i was really impressed. The balance of hop fruit and malt sweetness and backbone.

Bottled (4.5 %) (thanks Kim). Golden colour, small off-white head. Aroma is dishwater, mild nuts, citrus. Quite strange. Flavour is herbs, earth and some mild spices and soap.

An orange beer, a head is quite small and blond. Aroma has mangos, grapefruits, some flowers and chalk. Taste has grapefruits, some tropical notes, dry chalk. Too much of chalk, otherwise good beer.

33cl bottle from Koht. 3,8%. Poured dark amber with a thick, lasting white head. Toffee like notes in aroma, berries, citrus. Crisp. Flavor has citrusy hops, caramel, berries. Thin, but quite sessionable, yes.
