bottle - little bit hazy golden beer with a white head. Some bread aroma. Flavour has malt and sweetness. Some bitterness.

Pours a lightly hazy gold with a thin white head. Clean citrus. Smooth and sweet, creamy and grainy.

Bottled 500ml (OPP, BB 03/2012)
Clear golden color, small steady white head. Slightly buttery, grassy, hayish aroma. Light-bodied. Slighlty sweet, pale malty, buttery notes. Grainy finish.

Draught at the Braustüb’l of the brewery
Hazy deep blond color; compact head. Light cereals and malt aroma. The low carbonation allows the flavor to develop more, nevertheless it’s a simple one, with light malt flavor, some residual sweetness, average bitterness (some more hop bite would be appreciated). Very similar to the Helles, just with a rounder body. Easy.

Trockener Getreidegeruch. Leicht getreidiger und mittelwürziger Antrunk, die hopfige Note wirkt zu schwach. Auch das herb-malzige Aroma ist nicht das stärkste, passt so aber wenigstens zum Hopfen. Dezent malziger, mittelbitterer Nachgeschmack. Ein Sommergetränk. Test vom 11.3.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 6,8,9,9,9,9 - 8,55

Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt. Pours a lightly cloudy golden body. Long lasting head retention and considerable carbonation. Malty aroma. Almost buttery mouthfeel.

This Zwickel is good with a cloudy pour and small white head. There is more sweetness than expected but has an aftertaste of alcohol even thou it is only 4.8%.

Bottle - Hazy golden body with a fine lasting white head; Fresh, not to big mash like brown bread nose; Very soft texture and carbonation, very full carbonation, quite buttery sweet; Medium long finish that starts soft sweet and ends a little yeast dry
