Brauberger Zwickelbier

Brauberger zu Lübeck
Germany·Kellerbier
Tap to rate

The house beer of the Alfstraße brewhouse reaches the glass unfiltered and cloudy, drawn from wooden casks in the vaulted cellar. The colour is light amber, the head dense. A doughy, floral yeast note leads the nose; caramel, bread crust and nuts follow on the palate, with a raisin sweetness and a grainy, faintly mineral pull underneath. Bitterness stays restrained and closes a medium body on the malt-sweet side.
