The enticing beer innovation! Whoever is looking for an extremely special taste experience has found it with the Zwickl Rot. Its special flavour comes from a unique beer recipe which includes melanoidin malt. A special and extremely complex malting process gives the Zwickl Rot its typical red colour and unmistakeable chocolate and caramel notes. Austria's first amber, naturally cloudy and unique unfiltered red beer was bottled in 2001.

Humm, guessing this is it, as the Gösser Jubiläumsbier is refered to mostly as "Dunkles Zwickl". Draught at the 3 Goldenen Kugeln, Seiersberg, Graz as the "beer of the month". Anyway, poured a darker, completely murky red colour. Fruity malty nose, nothing too special. The taste is pretty much more of the same, full and kinda ruined by some kind of acidity and yeastiness. Slightly underwhelming, but still better than the average Austrian lager and it did well to douse the fires the lovely 3 Goldenen Kugeln Country Cordon left in my untrained mouth. I’ll probably rerate this at a point since I’m not 100% sure if I should even be rating it.

From tap at Stadt Park Bräu. Pours hazy brown to red with a lacing and off-white head. Aroma is roasted malt, butterish and overripe fruity. Malty and overripe fruity. Caramelish and roasted malt. Sweet. Vague liqourice note. Finish has no bitterness but a slightly persisting butter note.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours hazy brown with a small amber glare and a creamy, thick and slight tan head. Aroma is breadish and roasted malt. Toffee dry malt flavoured - towards bread. Subdued bitterness mixing in with the dark roasted malt. Ends with a mild fruity note to a dark malt base. Light bitterness coming through.

Draught at the Schweizerhaus, Prater, Vienna, where they called it "Rotes Zwickl." I am not really sure just what style of beer this is aiming for. It is reddish-brown in color, very cloudy. Has a rich, malty, fruity, and quite sour flavor that even resembles a Flemish ale slightly. It has a slightly sour, yeasty aroma as well. This was very nice stuff, interesting and original, and more complex than their others beers.

Draught at Bettelstudent, Vienna. Cloudy amber, rich creamy head. Creamy dough with custard and salt. Soft and somewhat grassy with aniseed and fennel coming through towards a slightly resiny finish. Like drinking dough.
