Zoigl served at Schafferhof in Neuhaus, 50 cl from tap there. Membrane-lacing, pillowy, egg-white, thick and stable head on a clear, warm golden beer with 'old gold' glow and strings of visible fizz. Aroma of freshly baked bread, spice bread, rusk, dried chamomile, white pepper, dried thyme, cheese rind, minerals. Malt-fruity onset, lightly sweetish, softish carb, smooth bread-crusty malts, fresh 'baguette' and spice bread, refinedly spicy hops, very floral, dried herbs, mildly but effectively bitter, while the bread-crustiness persists. Lovely old-fashioned, very Bavarian Lager - perfect on a hot summer evening in the Oberpfalz!

Mild dry sourness, grainy sweetness, some bitterness. Medium to full bodied, oily texture, soft carbonated, dry zesty grainy finish. Great Zoigl, as it is supposed to be.

Tap at the Zoigl Stub. Lemon / orange, sherbet, light honey, biscuits, bready malts in the nose. Glowing orange color, effervescent. High, rocky head. Lightly tangy flavor with rich melanoidins, deep Munich-like malt flavor, with a tiny bit of caramel nd a lovely peppery hop finish, tingling on the tongue. Quite Czech-like. Suffig and delicious. Love it.
