Numele vine de la vulturul bărbos (Zăganu) – o pasăre rară a Carpaților, simbol al libertății și al curajului. Așa este și berea noastră: cu caracter, autentică, românească.
În spatele fiecărei sticle e o echipă mică, dar pasionată. Nu suntem parte dintr-un grup mare. Nu urmăm trenduri. Zăganu rămâne o alegere conștientă – pentru cei care apreciază gustul adevărat.

Gold with a frothy, white head and minimal haze. Aroma promises orange pulp and fruit candy. Taste is bittersweet with a mildly citric twist. Finishes increasingly citric and bitter with a faint touch of resin. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, refreshing apart from a touch of undisguised alcohol at the end. Drinkable. A sort of west coast/east coast hybrid.
0,33L, bottle.

Pours pale, murky copper with thin, diminishing white head.
Nose is some fruity sweetness, yeast and a tiny bit of caramel. Flavor is only the first two, with a light bitter, tart finish. Couldn't really enjoy it, no idea why.. :/

330ml, bottle.
Pours pale copper, a slightly bit cloudy/murky. Medium off-white head.
Nose and flavor is very reminescent of a NEIPA, with its citrusy, zesty notes. Moderate to high carbonation.
Really liked it, recommend 10/10 for anyone!

330ml bottle. Pours a fairly dark hazy orange colour with a beige head. Aroma of toffee, caramel malts, citrus, piney resinous hops. Taste is quite sweet and malty to start, caramel/toffee, marmalade, hops are resinous, piney, some citrus orange and grapefruit, perhaps faded somewhat as I'm drinking this close to its BBD. Medium bodied, on the lighter side for its strength, and very low carbonation.
Good but not great, would like to try a fresher bottle some time.

Dark amber color, large head which reduces to a thin one quickly. Dominant flavor would be cloves and caramel malt. Slightly cloudy. No sediments.
