🌍 Germany · Kellerbier · One of 138 Kellerbiers in hopIQ

Zwickelbier is the brewery's unfiltered lager, poured fresh from the fermentation and lagering tanks on brewery tours and served on draught at the brewery's inn Zum Löwen in Schwäbisch Hall. It is a hazy gold with a rocky, creamy white head. The nose is grainy and yeasty with a hop edge. On the palate it is balanced and medium-bodied, bringing cereal grain, fresh hops and a touch of yeast, and it closes in a lingering, semi-dry finish with a moderate bitterness.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Zwickelbier

◎ Appearance

Hazy gold with excellent clarity for an unfiltered lager, allowing the pale malt character to show through with luminous depth. A rocky, creamy white head forms with solid retention and fine Schaumkleiden down the glass, characteristic of a fresh-poured Kellerbier.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft, grainy malt sweetness layered with fresh yeast notes that speak to the beer's tank-fresh character. A subtle hop edge emerges on closer inspection—herbal and floral rather than assertive—framing the malt without dominating.

◐ Taste

Medium-bodied and well-balanced on the palate, opening with cereal grain and clean malt sweetness. Fresh noble hops integrate throughout the mid-palate with a touch of yeast complexity, leading to a lingering semi-dry finish with moderate bitterness that resolves cleanly without astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is semi-dry and lingers pleasantly, with the hop bitterness and grain body receding gradually rather than abruptly. A whisper of yeast persists in the aftertaste, inviting another sip.
