marcusm (50), Remich, Luxembourg Aug 18, 2005 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) darkseduction (198), Zweibrücken, Germany Dec 10, 2008 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. shrubber85 (2836), Wallhalben, Germany Feb 20, 2008 Bottle. Hay malt aroma. Clear golden yellow color with tufts of cloudiness - nice head and lacing. Grass malt flavor - mild bitter finish. An above average bottled zwickel. asheft (1374), Marburg, Germany Oct 22, 2008 [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. MoritzF (4863), Bochum, Germany Dec 26, 2006 (33cl bottle, traded with Saarlander) Cloudy orange colour with a mid-sized, slowly lacing foamy white head. Moderately sweet, chewy malt aroma, yeasty and citrus-fruity with delicate herbal hops in the background. Light-sweet flavour, yeasty malty taste with notes of citrus; light to medium bodied, lively carbonated mouthfeel; dry and yeasty bitter finish with light herbal and fruity notes. Refreshing well-quaffable brew. JorisPPattyn (5155), Antwerpen, Belgium Dec 16, 2008 Huge yellowish head over unclear yellow orange beer with mossy shine. Yeasty, sulphury nose. Dry malts and some flowery hops, but yeastesters dominate the aroma. Dry, slightly yeast- & hopbitterish character. Faint to stronger sulphur, esters. Medium bodied, yeast-filled to quite slick, very well carbonated. Yeast-determined beer; especially the sulphurcomponent/ester keeps coming out (too) strong. Even onion-like, at times. <i> Big thanks to Marcusfromthebeerdesert! </i> YogiBeera (2437), Hamburg, Germany Mar 6, 2006 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! Saarlander (1577), Saarlouis, Germany Jan 8, 2005 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.
