Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Zipfer Urtyp
◎ Appearance
Bright golden-yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head. The beer displays crisp carbonation and good lacing as the head recedes, characteristic of a well-executed pale lager. The light color and translucency exemplify the clean, premium Austrian brewing tradition.
◌ Aroma
The nose opens with fresh, grassy noble-hop character from the Tettnanger and Spalter Select, supported by subtle herbal and spicy overtones from Magnum and Perle. A delicate fruity undertone emerges beneath the hop-forward profile, while soft malt notes provide gentle balance without asserting themselves. The overall impression is clean, inviting, and quintessentially Austrian.
◐ Taste
The palate is crisp and clean from the opening, with balanced malt sweetness and a refined herbal-hop bitterness that develops gradually across the mid-palate. The 13.7° original gravity provides smoothness without heaviness, allowing the noble-hop notes and subtle spice to carry the flavor progression. Bitterness is restrained at 22 IBU, supporting rather than dominating the overall balance.
◑ Finish
The finish is dry and refreshing, with herbal hop notes lingering gently into the aftertaste. The beer concludes light and smooth, without any harsh edges or residual sweetness.
