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

“The Zarzecze Brewery gives us full freedom of developing and implementing new ideas and technologies. We have what every brewer dreams about: full control and the ability to supervise our projects personally at all times.”

Bottle at home. Aroma of malt, lots of pine resin, citrus, ripe orange, tangerine, some caramel, tropical fruit notes, hops. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a long heavy bitter finish. Has some noticeable booziness to it. Body is full. Not Belgian at all. Lacks the finesse and balance of a great Imperial IPA, but the big piney fruity hops make this an enjoyable sipping beer.

Bottle at home. The foul sulphury smell sends shivers of creeping horror down my spine. Aroma of malt, apples, unpleasant sulpury notes, spicy notes, sweetish ripe fruits. Flavour is moderate to medium malty sweet with a light to moderate bittersweet finish. Cloying and unpleasant.

Bottle at home. Aroma is grassy, tropical fruits, hoppy, light floral, slightly perfumed, some weird sweaty sulphury notes. Flavour is medium bitter. Medium bodied. Has some nice fruity hoppy touched, but overall it’s marred by unpleasant sweaty sulphury notes. Too bad.

Bottle at home. Aroma is zesty citrus, orange peel, tropical fruits, grapefruit, pineapple, tangerine, a slight herbal note. Flavour is light sweet and rather bitter. Body is medium. Certainly a tasty IIPA, shitloads of bitter citrus peel. Good!
