The head is medium. The taste is mild, malty, bit hoppy-bitter, full bodied, a bit yeasty. Overall a bit mild. 10/11/10/10/-/10

Draught @ Hotel Waldnaab in Neuhaus, 2009: Yellow gold appearance. Tight white head with spotty lace. Soft, bready, mineralic aromas. Intensely peppery, as well, with notes of lemon rind, uncured hay, honeysuckle and mild sulfur. Pleasant mouthfeel, snug carbonation. Sharply sulfury and peppery with a palate-scrubbing mineralic snap mirrored by equally vivid pils malt (toasted hay) kissed with faint biscuit. Some lemon cake heft, as well. Hops are floral and delightfully polished, boasting ample succulence along with a semi-coarse peppery and herbal accent. So little time for note-taking when a beer is this quaffable. Rustic, charming, fun.

on tap at the hotel, zoigl tag 2009 and 2010. golden with a light haze and a vague head; somewhat musty aroma of soggy tea leaves and old tins of peaches; grainy and quick with a tinny bitterness; left me a little underwhelmed compared to some of the other great offerings in neuhaus

Süß-herber Antrunk, eher unauffällig. Recht mild, wenig herb, der Hopfen ist angenehm gestreut. Hellmalzig, ok, absolut nicht außergewöhnlich. 10/9/9/9//9

Tap at Hotel. Sweet barley malt aroma. Slightly hazy golden yellow color with large head. Lightly sweet, strong barley malt and moderately bitter herbal hops flavor. The lightest Zoigl I’ve tried.

(draught) pours a hazy golden colour with a creamy white head. aroma of herbal hops, with some light notes of butter, gingerbread spice and even a little smoke. flavour is the same, very light on the palate, with lots of herbal hops and a light bitter finish. medium-bodied with smooth carbonation.

Tap. Fruity minerally, herbal aroma. Hazy golden, nice offwhite lacing head. Chewy body, light nutty, slightly tropical. Nice drinking beer.

Draught at the Altnaabtaler Hof: A bit unclear, golden, stable white head, visible carbonation; light to moderate hayish-hoppy nose with a light barnyardy touch, light bodied, not watery, quite soft; light to moderate bitter-sweet flavour; slightly lingering dryish hoppy-bitter finish. O.K. ......

draft at hotel waldnaab/sausewind stube, 2009 tag der kommunbrauer. dimpled mug. mostly clear light honey colored body with a silky fine-bubbled white head. frother, fresh, zesty and hoppy, smells and tastes of hearty/husky wheat and cracked cereal grains. wet and oily but a little more zest and bite than other zoigls, and has a heftier malt body. clean and snappy. pick up a little bit of soured mashed potatoes in the finish but that’s not as bad as it sounds. a wonderful zoigl - fresh, zesty, hoppy.

Tap @ Hotel Waldnaab, Neuhaus. Orange blonde, clear. Flowery earthy hopbitter flavor. Just a hint of citrus. Fairly low on aroma. Not the very best of the available zoigls, but good enough.
