Stiegl-Paracelsus Bio-Zwickl

◎ Appearance

Deep amber hue with a warm, burnished glow characteristic of lightly kilned malts. The beer presents naturally hazy from suspension through the hefe, with a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass in delicate lacing. Modest carbonation creates a soft, creamy mouthfeel rather than bright effervescence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft, grainy maltz notes anchored by honey and a subtle caramel sweetness from the ancient Laufener Landweizen grain. Gentle yeast character adds a touch of bread crust and mild earthiness, while low noble hop presence contributes only a whisper of herbal restraint. Clean and inviting, with no sharp edges.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with smooth, malty sweetness that unfolds into layered cereal and light caramel notes, supported by the distinctive wheat character of the heritage grain. Bitterness remains restrained at 25 IBU, serving as gentle balance rather than emphasis. Mid-palate shows creaminess and a honeyed roundness that carries through without astringency.

◑ Finish

Clean, moderate finish with lingering grain sweetness and a faint honey echo. The beer fades gracefully without harsh drying or aftertaste.

Serve at 7–9°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
