Bischofshof Regensburger Zwickl if you want alive, unfiltered immediacy,
Mohren Märzen if you want rounded amber warmth.
Both sit at 5% and play it gentle on bitterness, but the Zwickl is a Kellerbier—meant to taste like it just rolled out of the cellar that morning. The Märzen is a seasonal anchor beer, more structured and patient. They're genuinely different animals despite similar numbers.

Bischofshof Regensburger Zwickl
The Zwickl hits you with this grainy, almost doughy freshness that feels like you're drinking something alive. There's a faint cloudiness that matters—it carries a yeasty texture that adds grip. The bitterness is barely there (25 IBU), so what you get instead is this subtle herbal whisper and a finish that doesn't overstay. It's a beer that tastes best when it's cold and you're thirsty.
Mohren Märzen
The Märzen is more polished, more settled. You get caramel malt sweetness right up front, almost bread-crust notes, with a touch of spice hiding underneath. It's cleaner than the Zwickl—filtered, more composed—and that lower IBU (22) means the malt gets to play the lead role. There's a gentle warmth that builds, making this feel like a beer you'd nurse for a while rather than crush quickly.
