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.

On tap at Fabrica de Bere Buna, pours a cloudy bright orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out biscuity malt and a hint of grass. Flavour is basically indistinguishable from the filtered version, with biscuity malt and light grass. Cereal malt sweetness on the finish, lacking crispness. Solid but kinda meh.

On tap at Fabrica de Bere Buna, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out biscuity malt and a hint of grass. Flavour is soft, with cereal malt and light grass. Soft and not overly pilsner-like, but it's clean and drinkable.

Last summer at La 100 de Beri, Bucharest. Shared with lovely Anja. Clear golden, small off-white head. Mostly malty and buttery, no hops. No bitterness. Light to medium body, small to moderate carbonation, light dry finish. Worst IPA ever!

Last summer at La 100 de Beri, Bucharest. Shared with lovely Anja. Hazy golden, small off-white head. Lacing. Light hoppy, fruity and grassy, no malts, light butter. Light malty balanced with dry hoppiness, not too much of either. Light body, soft to moderate carbonation, light balanced finish. Mostly fruity sweetness remains. Average.

BOTTLE 50 CL from Berero. Hazy amber, creamy ivory head. Subtle smell of tangerine and citrus zest marmalade. The taste follows - light fruitiness and jam, moderate fruity sweetness - not much sugars, not very hoppy and just a bit grainy. Light citrus and grassy bitterness. Soft and slightly abrasive mouthfeel. Ok.

Draft at Zăganu Bar. Hazy amber, off-white head. Faint fruity malț aroma, barely detectable when it's cold. Some fresh malts in the taste, a little of that cheesy acidity, very little perceived sweetness, light cheesy hops. Drinkable, but somehow not enjoyable.

Bottled 330ml. -Hazy amber coloured, big off-white head, light caramel in the nose. Sweet malty, caramel, light yeasty and spicy with touch of fruits and some light alcohol. Strong carbonation and a bit too sweet overall. Not so fresh example.
