Almost certainly bottled, almost certainly this one (the young lady confirmed it was Zwiesel's weisse) at Zum Fürst'n, huge thanks Loz! Murky yellow body, off-white head. Pungent aroma, caramelly, floral, some phenols but not of the clove kind, bit worryingly, bit bready. Lean-medium, dry, tart, citric taste, floral, yeasty, bit citric, cloves more obvious thankfully, ending a bit minerally. Solid, not a world beater.

On tap at the taphouse opposite the brewery on the day the Granzfest starts, Saturday 12th July 2025 after an 11-12 km hike along the river from Regenhütte. Pours clear gold, excellent clarity, good sized white head, nice festbier, super nice, more 'ish' easy drinking, nice sweetness, light fruity. Really good

"Durandl Dunkel" aus der 1. Dampfbierbrauerei Zwiesel, Flasche von Liebick, 29.5.2025. - Dunkles Kastanienrotbraun, klar. - In der Nase mildes toastiges, kaum dunkles Malz, ein wenig Karamel und exotische zitrusfruchtige Hopfung mit Waldbeeren, die auf Kalthopfung hindeuten. - Antrunk weich toastmalzig und nur leise karamellig, dafür sehr aromatisch und für ein Dunkles ungewöhnlich "exotisch" zitrusfruchtig und beerig gehopft. Für ein Dunkles eher schlank. Im Abgang solide zitrusfruchtige Hopfenherbe. - Für ein Dunkles sehr originell gehopft, dafür im Malzcharakter etwas schwach. Probierenswert!

Bottle at Zwiesel. Clear golden. Burned ash, hop. Buttery mouthfeel, a bit flat. Not sure this is in the best condition.
