Zinnebir

◎ Appearance

Zinnebir presents a pale golden hue with a slightly hazy complexion characteristic of its unfiltered nature. The head forms with moderate density and displays good retention, leaving fine Schaumkleiden down the glass as it recedes. Carbonation is visible and lively, lending the beer a crisp, refreshing visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent herbal and floral notes from the German noble hops, supported by citrus character—lemon and light tangerine—that adds brightness to the profile. Beneath lies a clean malt foundation with subtle fruit esters from fermentation, creating a balanced and inviting aroma without heaviness or oxidation.

◐ Taste

The palate leads with a light, refreshing malt character that gives way to a pronounced hop bitterness that is pleasant rather than aggressive. Citrus and subtle stone fruit notes develop through the mid-palate, while a crisp, clean finish prevents any cloying sensation. The 5.8% ABV sits comfortably below the surface, allowing the interplay of malt and hops to remain the focal point.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and moderately persistent, with herbal and subtle bitter impressions lingering on the palate without becoming astringent. A refreshing quality persists, making this beer particularly drinkable.

Serve at 7–10°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The wide mouth and heavy base promote head formation and channel rich aromatics toward the nose. Traditional for Belgian strong ales.
