I remember having been to Köthen before (in 1991) and tasting some beers of this brewery. First I visited a friend then living in East Germany near Chemnitz, together with jbrus and travelled on, first to Köthen, later on to Berlin. The Köthen beers seemed average, except for a bready helles. And now I renew the acquaintance with this zwickel-pils. Blonde and hazy. Swing top bottle. Firm frothy head, fading away slowly. Light citric but dusty aroma. Medium to full bodied. Malty with a flowery hoppiness and a bit of citrus. Good quality pilsener that IMO has suffered a bit in the bottle.

500ml bottle; BB 17th Jan 19. Drank in my garden on 1st Oct 18. Pale golden body, clean and clear; the head a white affair that didn't hang around too long. Grassy and grainy in nature with a slight herbal feel; not great, but not bad either.
