Flavor & character

Aroma | A rich bouquet where sweet aromas of caramel and toasted bread merge with a refined, woody smoke note. In the background, you will discover light hints of dried red fruit and earthy spice.

Flavor | The mouthfeel is full and silky, with gentle carbonation. The flavor opens with notes of toffee and biscuit, followed by the characteristic smoke flavor reminiscent of a crackling fireplace. Despite the sweet opening, hop bitterness creates a balanced and relatively dry finish.

Finish | A long, warming finish in which smoke notes slowly fade and give way to subtle bitterness and roasted malt.

Serveertips & combinaties

• Serving temperature: Do not drink Zeta Zendra too cold; between 8°C and 12°C, its complex smoke and malt aromas show at their best.

• Glassware: Preferably serve in a wide tulip glass or a sturdy beer mug.

• Food pairing: This beer is a match made in heaven with grilled meat, BBQ dishes, smoked ham such as Jamón Ibérico, or hearty stews.

• Cheese: Pairs beautifully with smoked cheeses or a bold blue cheese that can stand up to the alcohol level and smoke.
