Zythi
Zythi is a captivating historical recreation of an ancient Egyptian ale, blending a complex array of botanicals and fruits into a harmonious Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer. The aroma is led by the warm, woody spice of cinnamon and the exotic, hay-like perfume of saffron. A deep, jammy sweetness from dates provides a rich fruit foundation, while parsnip and lupin beans contribute a unique, earthy, and slightly nutty starchiness that anchors the palate. The experience is rustic yet refined, evoking an ancestral grain-forward profile that balances savory vegetal notes with delicate spice and dark fruit, finishing with a lingering, golden-hued warmth.
Appearance. Deep amber to burnished copper (14–18 SRM) with a persistent, creamy off-white head. Notable haze is present, consistent with its historical inspiration, showing a slight golden shimmer from the saffron infusion.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity featuring prominent cinnamon spice and floral, earthy saffron. Sweet, dark fruit notes of dried dates complement a bready, rustic malt base. Low earthy hop notes are present, alongside a faint, starchy nuttiness from the lupin and parsnip.
Taste. The initial impression is of honeyed malt and rich dates, quickly followed by the savory, root-like earthiness of parsnip. Mid-palate, the saffron adds a distinct leathery complexity, while cinnamon provides a spicy drying effect. Bitterness is mild, derived from both hops and lupins, leading to a balanced, off-dry finish with a lingering spice and earth aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a slight creamy, starchy texture from the lupin beans. Carbonation is moderate. A very light alcohol warmth is present, with no harshness or astringency from the spices.
