7/5/7/4/15 Tap at the Weisser Schwan. Brilliant golden color, lightly hazy, effervescent but calmly so. 3 cm foamy head. Just beautiful. Lemony, bready nose. Super clean. Bready, malty flavor, sweet and somewhat simple, wth peppery, spicy hops, lemon, orange. Soft, light carbonation. Very solid beer though not so distinctive after the Posterer. Reminds me of an unfiltered Helles from the Munich area. Clean, soft. Nice. Note: seems to have changed recently looking at older ratings.

On tap at Weisser Schwan Windischeschenbach. Hazy amber colour lasting cream head. Some malt some amber malt some hop on the finish. The most full in the mouth so probably the best today. Some sherbet sting on the finish.

Vom Faß im Weißen Schwan, 21.5.2015. - Braungelb, leicht trüb. - Nase nicht allzu kräftig herbfruchtig-hopfenwürzig mit schwachen Karamelnoten. - Antrunk von schlanker, herb fruchtiger Hopfigkeit (Orangenschale) mit hopfenwürzigen Noten. Schwach karamelsüß. Etwas dünner Körper, mild rezent aber mehr Kohlensäure als andere Zoiglbiere. Im Abgang nicht sehr kräftige, herbe aber aromatisch etwas „leere“ Hopfenbittere. - Schwächerer Zoigl: deutlich zu stark karbonisiert, etwas matt gehopft und auch ein wenig dünn. Kein Vergleich mit den besseren Windischeschenbacher Zoiglbieren.
The description says this Zoigl is brewed by Robert (Sperber) from Beim Binner. If this is true, then Mr Sperber brews two distinctly different Zoigl beers, the better one for himself and a lesser one for the Weißer Schwan.
