Description
Birbant is one of the pioneers of Polish craft brewing - bold, independent, and driven by creativity. We don’t follow the noise - we brew what truly matters.
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.”

21.03.2022 - Służąca - To dziś Cthulhu ześle na nas swoje sny. W aromacie multiwitamina, owocowe landrynki, kiwi, pomarańcz. W smaku znacznie lepiej, solidnie. Pełna goryczka od początku do końca. Bardzo dobre.

Can. Hazy opaque orange, lasting airy white froth. Tropical fruit aroma, hoppy, green hoppy aroma. Sweet flavour, sweet tropical fruit, juicy. Quite juicy with a nice hop burn in the finish.

Białe owoce, zielony grejpfrut, w smaku cytrusy, trochę trawiaste. Sam chmiel robi robotę ( aromat rześki przyjemny) blg końcowe z kalkulatora 4.3 więc coś zostało, mimo tego trochę cienkie w odbiorze jak na czternastkę, brakuje ciała, ciut słodyczy by się przydało, albo jakiś chmiel (z tych słodziaśnych). Goryczka całkiem całkiem, nawet na finiszu coś zaczyna orać podniebienie.

Tap at Zil Verne. Hazy orange with white head. Oranges, tangerines in aroma. Taste is sweet, oranges, tangerines, not too much bitterness inside.

Tap at Zil verne. Med-full body, medium carbonation. The hops character is completely obscured, the overall feeling is muddy, earthy, rotten fruits, cheesy yeast vomit. Not good.

Can from Base Camp. Bought it because of the label because LOOK AT THAT LABEL!!!! Whoever designed that should've gotten a raise. At least in the amount of money I spent for the beer I guess. Anywho, looks decent even in the glast, murky dark yellow-orange, fluffy off-white head, medium retention. When I opened the aroma was lovely, tropical and stone fruit notes, a few minutes later- hmm, sweet maltiness, woody notes, coconut, sweet maltiness. Taste... hmmm... heavy, full smooth, tea notes, lightly woody, lightly oaty maltiness, surrounded by a slightly unripe stone fruit hoppy touch, herbal finish, not bad really. It's a bit imperfect, hop burn starts to creep up in the finish, but it's okay overall. Between sips and smells it's between 3.3 and 3.7, going for the lower one. But that label though.
