Egger Zisch

◎ Appearance

Egger Zisch presents a luminous golden-yellow hue with natural cloudiness characteristic of the Zwickl style, arising from suspended yeast and proteins. The fine, persistent white head forms quickly and clings to the glass with visible lacing between sips. Bright carbonation animates the body throughout, creating a visually refreshing and inviting presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh, herbal noble hop character balanced by gentle malt sweetness—grain, honey, and a touch of bread crust. Subtle citrus and floral notes emerge from the Edelhopfen, while the yeast remains in the background, contributing a clean, slightly grainy undertone. The aroma is restrained and approachable, inviting rather than assertive.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing, with a soft malt foundation of bread, cereal, and light honey. The mid-palate develops a noticeable bitter hop bite at 22 IBU, balanced by the beer's moderate body and gentle sweetness from its 6.5° original gravity. The finish transitions toward dry and slightly peppery, with lingering hoppy spice that preserves the beer's drinking-between character.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium in length, tapering from the hop bitterness into a clean, slightly astringent aftertaste. The absence of alcohol allows the malt and hop flavors to resolve without warmth, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for the next sip.
