3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Big rocky white head, hazy light orange color. A bit skunky but also grainy in the nose. Light hops taste .- a bit watery, but still nice. Thanks to the ambassador of Bruch Zwickel: Saarlander - for sending this!
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Did my Santa give me a beer that nobody else has rated? Cool! Thanks!! Cloudy, light gold. Nose is slightly cidery. Sweetish malt tonic flavor. Hints of lemon. Finish is overly sweet, slightly herbal.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle 33cl @Saarbrucken. A gorlen beer with medium head. Smell is hopy and slightly vegetable like. Aroma is malty, dry and very bitter. The aftertaste is very dry, spicy and bitter. In the average no more.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
[bottle]
Nice floral and lemony hops aroma that is a little musty and with definite hay/straw notes. Very hazy yellow-orange with a dense, lasting, white foam cover. Flavour is weak malt and mineral watery followed by some noble hops flavour, a touch of lotus root malt, and a appropriately gentle bitterness to offset a medium residual sweetness. Notes of grass and walnut. High carbonation, medium body, slightly bitter finish.
3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
500 ml bottle in Germany. Pours a nice golden color with white forming stands through out. Aroma is a true pleasure a full floral and citrus spectrum. Taste is much like an unfilltered Pils., however very mellow. Palate is weak but Pils like. Overall a very nice Zwickel, which is a little understood beer.

ok, I was Rudolfs santa, and I´m sitting in Germany on vacation with one in my hand right now, so I better rate it!lol. Mine is a bit fresher I think, as I am near the brewery. Light gold color, decent head. Very hoppy,citriusy, throw in a little herb taste to boot. A bit of sweet aftertaste, but not too much. I drink these quite often overhere in Saarland, its one of the better beers for a good price. Will drink again. Bruch makes some decent brew.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottled. Slightly cloudy yellow colour. Small, but stable and rocky head. Aroma is bready, yeasty and grassy. Lemony, herbal hoppy, sweetish taste. Quite carbonated, appearance and mouthfeel-wise, for a zwickelbier. Nothing special, but decent. Many thanks to saarlander and his wife, for generously sending me this beer.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle 33cl. Nice cloudy golden brew, appetising appearence. Small white head. Lively carbonisation, fresh and floral lightness, in the aftertaste a elaborated maltiness. Hoppy notes underline the satisfying impression.
3.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
A bottled sample, aroma of spritzy Saaz hops, a head lasting to the end of the glass - just off white. On the mouth, slightly murky gold colour, as you would expect from a naturally produced beer.
Well, it starts off with the hops biting the tongue, sliding down the palate, forming creamy malty notes, filing the tongue with flavour, ending with a note of hoppy cream soda in the mouth. A lucious beer, worth seeking out. I buy this by the case close to a micro in Germany - no question, need beer, buy some here - visit the micro too (Abteibrau in Metlach)
