Description
Birbant (pronounced ‘beer-bunt’; Polish for ‘bon vivant’) contract brewery was established in 2013 by Jarek and Krzysiek (a.k.a. Kuli), two brewers and beer enthusiasts. Jarek is a professional brewer, who’s worked with several different breweries, while Kuli started brewing at home in 2003 and in the ten years before Birbant many of his home batches earned him awards at homebrew competitions. In their own words: “We have worked together on new recipes for a few years now. Our goal is to make flavorful and exceptionally aromatic beers we would like to drink ourselves.” Browar Zarzecze

Keg at CBC Clerkenwell - London. Pours clear down with a creamy tan head. The nose has floral hops, pine, burnt toast, faint cocoa. Medium sweet flavor with woody hops, oily burnt pine, charcoal, harsh grassy bitterness. Medium bodied, oily, with fine carboantion. Resinous finish with baking cocoa, pine, flowers, grass. Not bad.

Draft. Hazy reddish amber color, off white edge head. Decent lime aroma. Much more lime in the taste that overwhelms the saison characteristics. Still tasty and easy to drink.

Draft. Hazy yellow color, bright white head. Wow, strange aroma of mixed curry spice and even wurst skin. And maybe catsup, but that might be my imagination. Edge of smoke adds to the illusion. Taste is burnt spice. Really interesting.

Draft. Cloudy amber color, tan head with good retention and lacing. Beatiful tropical fruit aroma. Taste is on the bitter side, but better balanced than their other DIPA.
