Description
The desire to discover has a long tradition in Rožňava. The history of this royal city is closely connected with gold mining. Yet Rožňava gold was not only hidden in mines under the town. The German mining experts also brought the craft of making golden beer liquor here. So the history of Rožňava beer specialties dates to the Middle Ages. Years have passed, but the desire to discover the unknown has remained. That’s why we founded the Kaltenecker brewery in 1997. Instead of pre-made parts, we offered an honest craft. Instead of the same-old, variety. Because we’re all different, so why drink the same beer?

Kaltenecker followed a different path than large breweries. We brew our beer specials from 100% malt. We don’t use any stabilizers. Why would we? Our beer sells out immediately. Quality is the bedrock, and we’re also constantly discovering new tastes and new taste combinations. We enlarge our range with popular seasonal specials at least four-times a year. After all, when elderberry flowers bloom on Rožňava’s fields, why not make an elderberry special? We brew in small batches, but always with big imaginations. This is the path our brewery follows.

Bottle from some potraviny in Spissky Stvrtok/ Piana srednia ale oblepia wszystko. Trwala nawet sporo czasu utrzymuje sie nad ciecza. Sporo, niczym najwiekszy okret Brytyjski wyslany na morze Baltyckie. Bursztynowa barwa, klarowne. Zywiczne, nieco karmelowe, ciasteczka korzenne, spora goryczka, i zywiczne wykonczenie. Posmak rowniez mocno chmielny. Citra tu rzadi niczym Ukraincy na polu bitwy.

Bottle 33cl. @home poured into a shaker. Slightly unclear medium amber colour, fair frothy off-white head, dissipating slowly, fair lacing. Fruity aroma, pale malts, apricot, white grapes, cape gooseberry, lychee, straw, grassy hops. Smooth dry taste, medium sweet and bitter, malty, grain, white wine notes. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, dry bittersweet aftertaste, grain, husky and earthy notes, well-balanced, would call this a grape ale and certainly not a bad one, very nice.

gefunden in einem Tesco-Suoermarkt in Malacky gleich hinter der österreichischen Grenze Angeblich hat das bier einmal den 2. Platz bei den europäischen Biermeisterschaften gewonnen. Das steht zumindest auf dem Etikett neben dem ernst dreinschauenden, trommelnden Husaren, einem Reitersoldaten aus der k.u.k.-Zeit. Tatsächlich hat mir das Bier wirklich gut geschmeckt. Es hat tolle karamellmalzige Noten mit ordentlich Kandiszucker, ist dabei aber nicht zu süß sondern hat feine grasige Aromen im Abgang. Ein gutes Bier für den Feierabend bzw vor oder nach der Schlacht.
