Bio Zwicklbock

◎ Aussehen

A radiant golden hue catches the light with a naturally cloudy suspension throughout, characteristic of the Zwickl style. The head rises with moderate density and clings persistently to the glass walls, leaving distinct lacing on the descent. Fine carbonation emerges steadily from the bottom, sustaining the beer's lively presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with rounded malt sweetness—a gentle suggestion of caramel and grain depth—laid over a bed of spicy hop character. Aurora, Tradition, Select and Perle hops interweave to create a herbal, slightly peppery top note that sits comfortably above the malty foundation. Organic cultivation lends a clean, verdant quality to the overall impression.

◐ Geschmack

The palate enters with a full, slightly sweet malt embrace, the Mühlviertel pilsner base providing a soft, grainy backbone. Spicy hop flavours unfold across the mid-palate, adding complexity and a gentle edge of bitterness balanced by lingering malt smoothness. The 25 IBU sits comfortably in support rather than challenge, allowing the interplay between grain character and noble-hop spice to dominate.

◑ Abgang

The finish extends with moderate warmth from the 7.4% ABV, carrying notes of malt and fading hop spice into a dry, grain-tinged conclusion. A whisper of sweetness persists without cloying, leaving the palate gently satisfied.
