Bottle in the Bräusterbl opposite the Dampfbierbrauerei, Zwiesel, Friday 14th October 2022. Pours clear gold with a little chill haze. Nice Pils, good balance of hoppiness, bitterness, crispness and dryness. Really decent.

Bottle from Hausmann Getränke. Light Amber, moderate head. Lightly spicy nose. Tasty light caramel notes on the start, moderate complexity, great grassy/spicy hop notes on the aftertaste.

Bottle. Clear dark yellow/gold sporting an ok white head. Aroma of grains, malts, minerals and some earthy hops. Taste of malts, grains, butter, metal, minerals and earthy and spicy hops. Moderate bitterness. Medium to strong carbonation. Alright but not that convincing.

€-Flascherl: Golden, hazy, pretty small stable white foamy layer, mild to moderate sweetish sourish (orangey-) fruity nose with a delicate yeasty and wheaty background; mild to moderate (again) sweetish-bitter(!) flavour with a very light acidity, nearly only medium bodied; shorter bitter-sweet finish with a mild boozy aftertaste. Pretty inoffensive Bock, not really convincing…

Bottle picked up from Appel Getränkemarkt Moosburg and consumed at home Sunday 28th November 2021 listening to Arab Strap - As Days Get Dark in front of the fire 🔥. We have a homemade Goulash in the slow cooker. Pours gold with a white head, good clarity. Malty with a little bit of honey sweetness, warming, a little rich. There is a little bitterness, it's good without being great.

Hier trifft ein traditionelles bayerisches Zwicklbier auf ein „neumodernes“ Indian Pale Ale. Flasche und Etikettgestaltung sind recht urig und haben einen sympathischen „Retro-Touch“ (Vorsicht Falle: Das bayerische Idyll auf dem Etikett lullt einen ein und hat nix mit dem modernen „Craft Beer“-Geschmack zu tun der einen erwartet). Auch im Glas ahnt der normale Biertrinker, der nur Helles, Export, Pils und Weizen kennt, noch nichts „Böses“. Beim Geruch wird es dann aber ungewöhnlich. Sehr fruchtig und hopfig. Das ist auch beim Geschmack bestimmend. Deutliche Zitrusnoten, etwas Grapefruit, minimale Spuren von Melone und recht florale Nuancen. Deutlich bitterer als man es vom Hellen, Pils oder Export kennt - aber die Schwelle des Extremen wird (noch) nicht überschritten. Der Hopfen bestimmt ganz klar dieses Bier. Erst in der dritten Reihe findet kerniges Getreide, Malzsüße etc. statt. Spritzig, trotzdem bleibt eine gewisse Sämigkeit, die man von einem Zwickel erwartet, erhalten. Ein IPA bietet vermutlich noch mehr Aromatik und Tiefe, aber das ist auch gar nicht der Anspruch dieses Bieres. Macht großen Spaß. Nicht nur im Sommer. Leider ist der Sommetraum gar nicht so einfach zu bekommen (selbst im Sommer).
