Hirter Zwickl

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden with a naturally hazy, cloudy appearance from suspended yeast—a defining characteristic of the Kellerbier style. The head is modest and soft, dissipating gently to leave only fine traces of lacing. Low carbonation produces a calm, almost still quality in the glass.

◌ Aroma

White peach and stone fruit lead the nose, offering a fresh, orchard-like character. Beneath lies a delicate yeast note—earthy and slightly phenolic—typical of unfiltered Kellerbier fermentation. The overall impression is light and inviting, with no aggressive hop aromatics.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens soft and slim, allowing the residual yeast to weave through the entire structure. Subtle malty sweetness and a bread-like quality provide body without heaviness. A lively hop presence emerges mid-palate and strengthens toward the finish, delivering gentle noble-hop character without astringency.

◑ Abgang

The finish is remarkably round and smooth, thanks to the low carbonation and integrated yeast character. The noble-hop bitterness fades gradually, leaving behind a clean, slightly dry aftertaste with lingering peach notes.
