Not so long ago, new goods appeared on the shelves of Russian stores . This is a product of the domestic brewing industry called atec Goose. ” What is this drink and what impression did it make on consumers?
Product Description
New beer, given the features of production, refers to the lagers. They are characterized by bottom-fermentation technology with subsequent fermentation for several days. During this time, the final ripening of the drink occurs. Some consider this beer to be a Czech product of Russian origin. The reason lies in the unusual name of the product. It was not by chance that it received its name “Zhatetsky Goose”.
First of all, you need to pay attention to its composition, where in addition to water, barley, light malt and maltose syrup, hops grown in the Czech town of atec are used. The quality of this component is known worldwide. For more than seven hundred years, it has been considered the best on the market and is used by many famous brewing companies. It is this ingredient that gives the finished drink a unique aroma with a small characteristic bitterness. “atec Goose” has a traditional balanced taste, in which grain shades are combined with notes of aromatic herbs, sweet malt and caramel.
Manufacturer
They make "Zhatetsky Goose" in St. Petersburg. The well-known Russian company Baltika is engaged in its production. The drink is prepared according to classical technology in the best traditions of Czech brewing. An important role in this belongs to the same atec hop. Specialists around the world recognize its superiority and consider this product the most upscale. Baltika decided to play on a well-known brand and draw with it the attention of customers to its product. For this, a special label design was developed, on which, in addition to the name, there is a mention of the presence of the main component in the product. This marketing move has paid off. They began to talk a lot about the new beer, which naturally led to an increase in sales. The leadership of the Russian company even wanted to register the name of the product as its own trademark. But the state patent bureau forbade this, so as not to mislead buyers about the country of manufacture.
Rich assortment
To meet customer demand, the Russian producer produces Zhatetskiy Goose beer in various containers. For bottling it is used:
- glass bottle of 0.5 liters;
- tin can of the same capacity;
- 1.5 liter PET packaging;
- kegs of 30 liters.
This variety is very convenient for the consumer and allows everyone to make their own choices. In addition, the manufacturer took care of a variety of tastes. Now the Zhatetsky Goose beer is produced in the following assortment:
- Zatecky Gus Light. The drink contains at least 4.6 revolving percent alcohol. The original technology allows you to cook a product with a light taste and a pleasant malt aroma.
- Zatecky Gus Cerny. Its production was mastered in the spring of 2010. A distinctive feature of the product is that, according to the recipe, the malt is subjected to preliminary frying. This significantly changes not only the color, but also the taste of the drink.
According to gastronomic indicators, each of them goes well with various hot dishes, as well as with any snacks.
Subjective Opinions
Today, almost every lover of foam drinks is familiar with a product called atec Goose. There are different reviews for this product. The vast majority of buyers are inclined to a positive assessment. Take, for example, a variant of light beer.
Many people like a gentle bitter taste with a touch of sweetness. This contrast creates an unusual feeling. After each sip, a short, rather pleasant aftertaste remains. Some even call this product a "female drink." Black beer also has its own characteristics. Burnt malt pleased porter lovers. It gives the drink a peculiar aroma and makes the taste more pronounced. But there are negative opinions about this. Some buyers believe that there is absolutely nothing good in the new beer. They argue that in it there is absolutely no smell of the notorious hop, and the bitter taste in taste makes it cloying and not entirely clear. Someone generally believes that the new product has nothing to do with good beer. Of course, one can argue with this opinion.
The dark side of beer
The logical continuation of the development of the brand was the appearance in May 2010 of a new product, which was called "Zhatetsky Goose Dark." With this step, the manufacturer solved two problems at once:
- Expansion of the assortment.
- Meeting the needs of certain segments of the population.
Indeed, many people prefer dark beers. It’s hard to argue with them, because everyone has an opinion on this. In this case, the "black goose" completely coped with the task.
The beer was very tasty. The rich aroma of burnt malt with notes of caramel goes well with herbal hints of hops. The taste is rich, bright and slightly velvety. Specialists praised the work of St. Petersburg brewers. Not without reason that same year at the London exhibition he received a bronze award. This markedly raised the rating of the new drink. They began to pay more attention to him. Later, participating in the same international competition, in 2015 this beer was again awarded by a competent jury and received a bronze medal. Such a high rating allows us to call this product a real achievement of domestic brewing.
