Wenn die Leidenschaft zum Brauen vereint: Gemeinsamen mit unseren Freunden von der Deschutes Brewery haben wir ein vollmundiges Zwickl gebraut. Die einzigartige Komposition aus unserem Bitburger Siegelhopfen aus dem Herzen der Eifel sowie den amerikanischen Aromahopfen-Sorten Citra und Mosaic, die in Yakima (USA) angebaut werden, verleiht unserem Bitburger Dry Hop’d Zwickl dabei seinen fruchtig-hopfigen Geschmack. So gut kann Freundschaft schmecken!

Pint can pours with a murky deep copper colored body that has thin golden hued edges and supports a full off white head of foam. Thea aroma offers up spicy to vaguely floral hops followed by a layer of mildly sweet smelling bread like malts. The taste delivers a fair amount of the modestly sweet bready and malty notes. The hops quickly kick in and provide some nice balance bitter spicy to floral to sort of woody hoppiness. This comes across a little less than fresh, defying the point of the style, but still provides a nice experience.

Draught at Meltzer Beer House, small creamy head, cloudy earthy orange colour, quite caramelly with a bit of citrus behind and a hint of spice and some marmalade in the back and a whiff of spiciness, medium herbal bitterness, lightish sweetness. nice but not expressive enough.

Ever so slightly hazy golden colored body with a nice three to four centimeter tall off-white head that leaves a nice lace on the sides as it fades. Aroma of relatively crisp malts with some light biscuity notes, but some fresh hops with citrus as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong biscuity and malty bite at first with a good robust floral and grassy note and a dash of bitterness from some nice fresh lower Alpha acid hops and with some light but noticeable sweetness here as well. Aftertaste shows some dry bitterness from the malts, but a light and easy-drinking quality from the flowers and crispness that make this even more dry, but enjoyable throughout. Overall, a pretty nice Zwickl that is nice to sample while NOT being in Austria and being at home in the USA - a nice representation of a style that is harder to find, definitely recommended if you like the style or perhaps especially if you haven’t ever really had a Zwickl! I sampled this 500 mL can purchased from Total Wine in Laurel, Maryland on 20-July-2022 for US$2,79 sampled at my house here in Washington on 31-March-2023.

0.33 l can from 'SpeciaalBierPakket.nl', canned in January 2022. Hazy, reddish orange with a medium large, frothy, slowly diminishing, off-white head. Sweetish, rather fruity-resiny aroma of orange jam, pine and mango. Quite sweet, malty, moderately bitter, rather fruity-resiny taste of orange jam, mango and pine, followed by a short, gently bitter finish. Medium to full body, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Tasty session beer, quite aromatic, smooth and well-balanced.
