Hubertus Zwickl Pils

Tap to rate

Unfiltered rather than polished: Hubertus filters its beers before they go into keg or bottle, but a Zwickl stays as it is. On the brewery's list this Zwickl Pils appears as a draught beer. It comes from Laa an der Thaya, where the beer lagers cold and the brewing water comes from the brewery's own very soft well.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hubertus Zwickl Pils

◎ Appearance

Golden-yellow hue with noticeable cloudiness from suspended yeast, characteristic of an unfiltered Kellerbier. The head forms quickly and clings persistently to the glass in fine lacework. Carbonation appears moderate, with a gentle cascade visible in the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with clean, grassy noble hop character—restrained and herbal rather than assertive. Beneath lies a soft, grain-forward Malz foundation with a whisper of yeast from the living cloudiness. The overall impression is fresh and mineral-tinged, reflecting the brewery's soft well water.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and lightly malty, with a gentle sweetness that doesn't linger. Mid-palate develops a crisp, floral hop bitterness (25 IBU) that sits comfortably rather than dominates. The soft brewing water allows a rounded mouthfeel; the yeast cloudiness adds subtle textural depth and a faint organic tang that keeps the palate engaged.

◑ Finish

Clean, dry finish with the hop bitterness fading steadily into a mineral, slightly grainy aftertaste. The refreshing quality lingers briefly without astringency.
