Bischofshof Regensburger Zwickl

Brauerei Bischofshof
Germany·Kellerbier
Tap to rate

Regensburg's Bischofshof has been brewing since the Middle Ages, and the Zwickl is their unfiltered answer to everyday drinking. Naturally cloudy and lightly carbonated, it pours hazy golden with a soft, rounded malt body and a whisper of fresh yeast character — the kind of beer that tastes better the colder it gets. A cellar beer that belongs in a cellar, or at least somewhere honest.

◐ Taste

The palate opens crisp and refreshing with rounded malt sweetness and soft breadiness. A light, dry finish emerges mid-palate with restrained bitterness (18 IBU) that cleanses rather than asserts, allowing the smooth malt character to shine through.
