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.

Bottled 330ml. -Unclear golden coloured, big off-white head, lively carbonation, mild fruity nose. Moderate malty, light fruity, herbal hoppy and notes of caramel with pretty strong carbonation. Even not the fresh hop profile. More APA than IPA.

Medium plus sweetness, light bitterness, touch of light sour. Medium body, slight oily texture, above average carbonation. Finish is bitter sweet and tangy.

Arôme au nez finement malté, grillé, caramel avec effet mélanoide en rétro rappelant ces bocks allemandes. Palais est finement malté, léger caramel et petite douceur persistante en fin de bouche. Melanoide assez présent, houblonné plus en retrait et apportant une petite balance d’amertume virant sur léger citronné.

BOTTLE 33 CL at home. Clear grayish-amber, small off-white head. Smell of stale malts, burnt cooking oil and fudge, possibly some hops but with a harsh moldy note. Taste: butterscotch/diacetyl - no proper malts, fruitiness of hops. Harsh aspirin-like bitterness. Low carbonation and oily mouthfeel. Pretty sub-par. 5-3-5-2-10=2,5/5.
----------------------------
TAP at Bucharest Beer Festival. Herbal nose, pretty brutal herbs. The taste is similar, cooking herbs, herbal spicy bitterness. How many times did I say herbs? 6-4-6-3-12=3,1/5.
