Associated Venue: Fabrica De Bere Bună / Zăganu Bar
Established in 2013
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.

Many thanks to ciocanelu for this bottle. The beer starts fresh and malty. Hints of floral hops, round and fresh. The aftertaste has slightly sourish hints, fresh though. Malty grainy with a moderate bitterness. Nice and easy to drink, but for an IPA way too less hopped.

Many thanks to ciocanelu for this bottle. Fresh but sweetish and slightly woody beginning. Interesting. The mainpart tastes like red wood, malty red body, smooth with a high carbonation. Not too sweetish. The aftertaste is malty red, fresh with sourish woody hints. Interesting stuff!

BOTTLE 33 CL. Hazy red, off-white head. Light spicy and peppery aroma and light tartness, acetic notes. The taste is also peppery and tart with a mild crystal sweetness for balance. Light spicy finish. Medium bodied and very drinkable. Quite well put together, just hope the sourness is as intended.

BOTTLE 33 CL, free sample from the brewery. Clear dark amber, off-white head. The aroma starts with nice tropical fruit, but soon gets sweeter and sweeter wot the point where it feels sugary with just a of pine. A hint of yeast maybe? The taste is also quite heavy on crystal sugars, with a low to moderate grassy and piney bitterness. Not much fruity malt or hop bits. Pretty clean with a smooth mouthfeel, but it’s just too heavy of sugars for me, as well as too shy on hops.

Pours a clear golden color and is topped with an avergae white head. The aroma is mostly biscuity malts and grains. Easy to pick up. The taste starts slightly sweet and bready. Lacks a bit of bubbles. Finish is mildly bitter. Drinkable and nice, but nothing special really.
