Brewed: Piwoteka&Jabeerwocky
Style: Rosanke
Tested: bottle, August 2016
So the fancy week continues. Today, its Malts N’Roses a
collaboration brew from Piwoteka and Jabeerwocky (I love this name). First
interesting thing is the style – it is called Rosanke (falsely described on
Ratebeer as traditional Ale). It is a beer brewed in the Warmia region of
Poland, especially for serfs during harvest. It’s a bit similar to Belgian ale
(carbonation), but supposed to have more cereal flavors. Mostly dead style, was
reactivated a few years ago and its being brewed from time to time in Poland.
It is really hard to compare Malts N’Roses with other
Rosanke beers on the market. Why? Well it’s the only one I have found.
Aroma is mostly honey and flowers. Strong and nice. Beer
pours cloudy amber with quite solid head. Bit disappointing is that the strong aroma
is not really clear in the strong taste. Beer is rather a bit fade, aromas of
spices, honey, and finished with herbal bitterness. Overall, even if it seems
like a bit unfinished its nice and refreshing, certainly worth testing.
