Cloudy dark straw color with a smallish bubbly white head. Sweet malty aromas, much like those scent rising from the mash tun. A light herbal and citric nose as well. Fairly dry start but sweetens as it continues. Some dry yeast flavors come in mid quaff with a rather dry herbal bitterness. Light and unassuming on the palate. Long dry pale malt finish.

Cloudy pale golden color,medium sized white head that lasted for some time then faded slowly to a nice lace.The aroma was lemony with a some what wheaty side.The flavor was not the same as the aroma for sure.kind of caramely with a decent malty side and the fruit is pretty much in the background,with just a light citrus side at best.The hops come on at the tail end and only faintly with just a mild bitterness in the finish.Not bad in,fact kind of refreshing,well worth trying again.

Bottle pours a slightly hazy pale yellow, large frothy white head, very sticky lacing, with lively carbonation.   Grainy/grassy nose, slightly herbish.   Sweet malty flavor, slightly cornish but subtle, with a minor herbish or tea tinge.   Body and mouthfeel seem medium to full.   Finishes a tad less sweeter, malty, with a sharper tea or herbish flavor.   Pretty damn tasty, and quite interesting.   A great sessionable beer.

I feel privileged to have gotten my hands on this extremely rare style - and what a treat it was. This was a Zwickel, I believe, and it was, true-to-style, like lager’s answer to real ale. MASSIVELY yeasty and a tad cloudy, it had a funk and yeast aroma that was delicious. The hops were significant and reminiscent of a bohemian pilsener. Lightly carbonated. Very enjoyable.

Hazey pale yellowy appearance, strong fine carbonation. Fruity, bready malt aroma, slightly grainy. Sweet fruity, shortbread flavor, well carbonated, mild spice, lemony undertones. Much better than I thought it would be.

Amber body with weak white head. Unremarkable aroma. Flavor was decent and would go well with food but not something to sit and drink on its own.

Cloudy golden colour with no head but good lacing. Wheaty nose and bland hops in the taste, medium body, nothing to go crazy over.
