🌍 Germany · Kellerbier · One of 143 Kellerbiers in hopIQ

Autenried's Zwickel is the unfiltered pub beer — pale-cloudy from yeast, soft malt body with a hint of earthy minerality, and just enough hop bite to keep things honest. Naturally carbonated and low on ceremony, it's a reminder that the best beer doesn't need to travel far or last long to matter.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Autenrieder Zwickel

◎ Appearance

Pale golden with a persistent haze from suspended yeast, giving the beer a soft, lived-in character. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, delicate lacing. Natural carbonation creates a gentle, steady stream of fine bubbles that sustains the visual liveliness throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with earthy minerality and yeasty bread notes, grounded in soft malt sweetness. A quiet herbal note emerges alongside subtle honey undertones, while noble hop character adds restraint without dominating. The overall impression is clean and unpretentious — more cellar than showroom.

◐ Taste

The palate is smooth and soft-spoken, with a gentle malt foundation that carries bready, slightly honeyed notes through the mid-palate. Noble hop bitterness (25 IBU) arrives with precision rather than force, providing a crisp mineral edge that keeps the beer honest and refreshing. No harshness, no excess — just balanced, unpretentious drinking.
