LCRBM2. Bottle from Derdoppelbock. I always find the first beer of a tasting difficult, because you don’t want to start too high or too low as you then guage everything off that benchmark. But I did rather like this. Golden with thin white head. Pale malt aroma, bit dusty, some sticvky toffee in mouth, and then dry, tangy finish. Nice, interesting. Good lasting tangy finish, if a little uncultured.

From bottle: sour cream, butter and hops in the aroma. Butter, chewing gum, loads of flowery and earthy hops, especially revealing itself in the aftertaste. Hint of wood and butter in the aftertaste. Low on carbon. In spite of a very rural mouthfeel, this is very special beer. (7 2 8 2 15 = 3.4) Tap @ zoiglstube. Blonde, just a bit hazy. Flowery, just a bit soapy aroma. Initial malty flavor with earthy hops and some citrus notes. Long flowery aftertaste with citrus.

Bottle. Pale Yellow. This was quite a ncie lager. Bready/doughy malt notes, with a slightly sticky mouthfeel, which is balanced by some grassy hop bitterness in the finish. The bitterness is quite soft and makes the beer quite more-ish. A pleasant lager!

Little white head; golden colour with a very slight haze. Terribly malty, grassy nose, slightly smokey. Sweet initially, but with a very fine hoppy lining, especially coming up in the finish. Light, but grist slickness, refreshing. This is UNBELIEVABLE! Der Doppelbock upped everybody with this super addition to the knowledge here. And it was worth all the trouble, IMO.

Draught: Almost hazy, golden with a quite small fluffy head; solid dry bitter-sweet flavour, soft MF, light bodied, chalky base; lingering bitter-sweet finish. A goody..........

the first and last zoigl of the night. first impressions weren’t very good as they had just begun pouring and the carbonation was somewhat flabby. a few hours later they had it dialed in and this zoigl was just "on". lightly hazed golden wheat colored body with a rocky but soft fine-bubbled white head. spiced honey, apples, rustic honey, butter and hay, snappy malt with a minerally and zesty yeast quality throughout. amazingly fresh, exceptionally deep and complex. dense body and rich texture, perfectly mashed, perfectly structured. i found myself drinking this again and again at the end of the night. one of the best zoiglbier had at the festival.

Bottled, LCRBM. Very malty aroma with herbs and hints of butter. Light hazy, small off-white head, fair lace. Malty, loads of hops, sweet and bitter. Dry mouthfeel.

Bottled - LCRBM2 - A quite clear golden coloured beer with a touch of off-white head. The aroma is buttery with some popcorn notes. The taste has a touch of toffee and a litttle spice. Tastes home brew and a little farty rough. OK. I didn’t really enthuse although I am very grateful for tasting a true Zoigl.
