Swing-top bottle. Barnyard and barley malt aroma with metallic notes. Golden yellow color with large head. Slightly sweet and acidic barley malt flavor. Pretty good - wish this had more funkiness though.

Swing top (BB 12/2009)
Thanks bierkoning! Hazy yellow color, small white head. Strong diacetylic nose with light citrus and grains. Crisp carbonation. Less diacetyl in the flavor: grains, citrus, some tartness, light hops. Very strange Zwickel, not the most cleanest one.

Bottled. A hazy orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with acidic notes of lactic acid and dusty hops. The flavor is of dusty hops and straw, leading to a dry and somewhat dusty finish.

Bottle, 4.9%. Weak citric cardboard aroma. Hazy yellow colour. Big stable white head. The flavour is like a Mexican lager with yeast. Low bitterness, some soda water flavour. Rather thin, but the naturtrübiness helps a lot.

Swing-top bottle: cloudy, medium-sized fluffy head, slowly diminishing; sourish, fruity nose, a bit buttery (diacetyl?) too; sweetish-bitter and estery lavour, light bodied; short bitter-fruity (estery again) finish. Absolutely NOT moreish............
