Description
Zăganu este o bere artizanală românească, produsă 100% independent din 2013, într-o mică berărie de la poalele Munților Ciucaș, în satul Măneciu-Ungureni. Am ales să facem bere altfel: nefiltrată, nepasteurizată, fără compromisuri, cu ingrediente naturale și rețete proprii.

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.

BOTTLE. Slightly hazy ruby-brown, pillowy beige head. The nose is caramel and dark sweet cherries - more fruity than malty, some ripe citrus pulp, but really not much hops in here. Light cheesy/dirty socks notes. The taste is well balanced pink grapefruit, red fruit, moderate crystal malts and a peppery bitterness. Some really spicy notes, but these look more like hops than rye. Full, yet easy drinking. Clean and smooth, no technical complaints.

Hazy golden-amber, white head with some lacing. The aroma is mostly caramel, not sticky or unpleasant though. Light citrus notes, some cookies. The taste has just enough pale cara malts for balance and a light to moderate grassy / citrus bitterness. Simple, unpretentious, nicely done.

Spandert av djoeye. Delt med ham i H7. Svart. Filmskum med litt farge. Aroma av salt lakris. Mye kullsyre. Smaken det samme. Litt syrlig avslutning.

50cl bottle (1,87€) from Auchan Cotroceni supermarket in AFI Cotroceni in Bucharest in Romania. F: big, tanned, long lasting. C: black, opaque. A: malty, sour fruity, caramel, grainy. T: malty, grainy, vaguely sour fruity, caramel, bit red berries, toast, the sour fruity tones disturb me both in aroma and also in the taste, this must have not steady bathes or what, average at best, medium body and carbonation.
