(bottle) Hazy, golden colour with a big and slowly lacing white foam. Moderately sweet grainy and slightly rural (barnyard) aroma with a touch of sour dough and herbal, slightly grassy hops. Sweet bitter flavour, light body with a medium carbonation. Grainy malty taste with a fresh and slightly spicy hops character, combined with moderate yeasty and light barnyardy notes; almost dry, slightly sweet finish with a yeasty and hoppy bitterness. A Zwickel with its own character (16.02.08).

Hellwürziger Antrunk mit Gerstentönen. Hell bleibend, der Hopfen ist das stärkste Aroma in insgesamt milden Bier. Dabei beinhaltet der Hopfen die zu Beginn genannten Aromen und bietet darüber hinaus angenehme Grasnoten. Leider sind diese ziemlich mild, besonders für ein selbsternanntes Winterbier ist das eher unpassend. Erst zum Ende wird es dann intensiver, vor allem der Hopfen legt zu indem die Grasnote harzig wird, ausgleichend zur zugegeben nicht sehr starken Herbe kommt untertönig eine leichte Süße hinzu. Ein nettes und ausgeglichenes Bier, das eins garantiert nicht ist: Ein Winterbier. 9/10/9/9/11/9

Cask (Bayerishe Anstich) at Akkurat, Stockholm. Clear golden, firm head. Pungent grassy hops up front. Very dry, yet superbly soft with solid body and lots of chewy malt. A wealth of grassy hops leads towards a really bitter finish. Despite significant bitterness it feels velvetty and seemless, completely without edges. Though pilseners may not really be indigenous to Franconia they really know how to make them. Just wonderful!

Wheaty and yeasty taste with a refreshing citrus fruitiness; moderately sweet, minimal acidic wheaty and yeasty finish with light clovy phenols. Decent, refreshing Hefeweizen.
