Böhmerwald Zwickl

Tap to rate

A naturally cloudy, honey-yellow beer with a velvety character. Floral hop tones and fine yeast notes unfold on the palate. The brewery lies at the foot of the Bohemian Forest in the Upper Mühlviertel, the largest continuous forest area in central Europe, and says the power of nature shapes this particular beer.

◐ Taste

The palate enters smooth and velvety, with noble hop bitterness arriving gently at 25 IBU—present but never sharp. Yeast and honey notes weave through the mid-palate, accompanied by subtle bread-like malt character. The finish remains clean and balanced, favoring drinkability over complexity.
