Bottle. Blonde, hazy. Hint of peach in the slightly floral aroma. Medium to full bodied. Peach and mango in the flavor. Pleasant.

Pours pale yellow and very cloudy with small white head. Smells yeasty-sourish, malty-grainy. Starts malty-fruity, yeasty-sourish, slight sweetish. Middle part is yeasty and sweet, slight malty. Goes into a fruity-fermented finish with some sourish yeast flavor.

#536 Ein naturtrübes Lagerbier? Klingt merkwürdig, ist aber gelungen! Hefig im Aroma und lecker malzig im Geschmack. Gegen Ende kommt noch Hopfenherbe hinzu. Insgesamt sehr ordentliches Naturtrübes! Test vom 29.7.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,9,10,10,10,10 - 9,85

500ml bottle. Minimally cloudy golden colour with average, firm, frothy, moderately lacing, white head. Grainy caramel malty aroma with a touch of hay. Taste is minimally metallic pale malty, minimally sourish, minimally dry hoppy note gains more weight towards the finish.

Bottle: Pale golden to golden, mid-sized lacy white head, sweet grainy nose, well hidden hops and a yeasty fruitiness underneath; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied, a bit sticky, too; gets more "hoppier", but also a bit sourish, in the bitter-fruity finish. Just drinkable...

500 ml bottle. Thanks Timo A.
Pours a hazy yellow colour with a white firm head. Aroma of grass, grains and dried apricot. Flavour of grainy malts, grass, dried apricot, . Has that certain organic feeling. Medium bodied, soft carbonation and slick mouthfeel. Finishes smooth and grassy with a malty touch. Some citrusy notes as well. A bit weird for a zwickelbier, but good drinkability.

Thank you very much Julia and Norbert for bringing this back from Germany. Slightly hazy golden with a long-lasting rim head and swirls of lace. This drinks like Hoegaarden Light. Opens with wheat and malt mixed with light spices, especially coriander, and a hint of citrus. Overall, easy drinking, good for sessions, good for warm summer days. Recommended

Pours a cloudy golden color. Smell is sweet, malty. Taste is crisp, malts, some sweetness, very refreshing.

Il colore è tipicamente giallo paglierino, con riflessi dorati, corpo interamente trasparente e chiaro sintomo di vivace fermentazione interna. La schiuma è estremamente bassa, minima in fase di spillatura, morbida, compatta solo lungo i bordi del bicchiere, dalla buona persistenza. Il colore è bianco sporco. Diventa completamente inesistente in fase di riposo, dopo appena qualche minuto dalla spillatura. L’aroma è distintamente luppolato, con un lieve accenno fruttato a carattere dolciastro (scorze d’arancio), ed un piccolo sentore floreale in sottofondo. Il gusto è particolarmente ricco rispetto alle tradizionali Lager. Pieno, mediamente rotondo, morbido sin dall’imbocco e dal rapidissimo passaggio. Il sapore è leggermente squilibrato, in maniera piacevole, verso note dolciastre (richiamo alle scorze d’arancio), smorzato all’entrata da un lieve accento amarostico (luppolo), evanescente. Bassa persistenza amarostica.

bottle from Bierzwerg. Hazy golden yellow, large and creamy white head. Yeasty, slightly fruity with a nice hoppy touch.
