Zwickl Naturbier

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with pronounced natural haze from suspended yeast and protein, characteristic of an unfiltered Kellerbier. Fine sediment settles gradually in the bottle, and a modest white head forms with moderate retention and fair lacing. Carbonation is gentle and restrained, befitting the cellar-fresh tradition.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with warm, grainy malt notes—bread crust and light biscuit—layered with a subtle yeasty character from the living yeast in suspension. Hallertau hops introduce a restrained spicy and herbal counterpoint, creating an understated, grounded bouquet that invites rather than demands attention.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is soft and full-bodied, with rounded malt sweetness and a gentle bready character. Mid-palate develops spicy and herbal hop notes with light earthiness, while the finish turns clean and lightly bitter—dry without harshness. The overall arc is balanced and natural, with no aggressive edges.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste lingers gently, trailing herbal and lightly bitter notes without astringency. A residual malt sweetness fades into a refreshing, dry conclusion that invites another sip.
