🌍 Austria · Kellerbier · One of 130 Kellerbiers in hopIQ

Wieselburger Zwickl is the unfiltered version of the house's pale lager, drawn straight from the maturation tank. It pours a naturally cloudy, straw-golden yellow under a fine white head. The nose is fresh and yeasty, with soft grain and a whisper of honey; the palate is rounded and lively, with a light bready note from the yeast, a subtle malt sweetness and a moderate, gently drying hop bitterness, and the finish stays fresh with a soft, grainy character.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Wieselburger Zwickl

Appearance

Pours a naturally cloudy straw-golden yellow, characteristic of an unfiltered Kellerbier drawn straight from the maturation tank. A fine white head forms and persists with gentle lacing around the glass. The haze is uniform and inviting, speaking to the presence of yeast and suspended proteins rather than any fault.

Aroma

The nose opens with fresh, yeasty character—clean and lively without any harsh or oxidative notes. Soft grain and a gentle honey sweetness emerge beneath, supported by a subtle malt foundation that anchors the profile without heaviness. A whisper of noble hop resins provides balance and invites the palate forward.

Taste

The palate is rounded and lively, offering a light bready note from suspended yeast that lingers pleasantly. Subtle malt sweetness builds gently through the middle, balanced by a moderate and gently drying hop bitterness that never becomes aggressive. The body feels supple and well-integrated, with carbonation adding liveliness without harshness.
