Zwickelbier is similar Kellerbier, They both are a very old style of brewing lagers dating back to the 1500's, they are unpasteurized and unfiltered and matured in open or unbunged kegs originally in deep vaults. The beers are naturally cloudy and yeasty, often with a high hop bitterness.
This one poured a murky amber orange colour with some off white head that left no lacing at all. The aroma has hints of bread yeast, sweet malts and some earthy hops. The flavour is fairly sweet up front with a fruity background and a mild hop finish that leaves a malt and yeast aftertaste on the lips. An okay brew certainly better than the Kellerbier I tried earlier in the year but still not great, 3.4 out of 5
