Draught, at Beim Bahler in Neuhaus, October 2006. Faintly hazy gold, moderate thin white head and gentle condition. Restrained sweet malt and dominant peppery hoppiness in the aroma, pleasantly yeasty-sweet in the mouth with a developing caramel note and a building but restrained hop bitterness. Long dry and bitter finish that comes both from the hops and the yeastiness. Much drier and hoppier than the Zoigl across the river in Windischeschenbach. "

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!

Pale yellow colour, low carbonation, cloudy. Resin, pine, butter, tobacco and spice aromas; bitter taste with resin, tobacco, pepper and wood aromas; very bitter finish with wood, resin, hop, spice and pepper aromas. A wonderful, light, very hoppy beer - like a top-quality Franconian Kellerbier. One of the best lagers I’ve ever had. 89 out of 100 on my scale.

Diesen Zoigl habe ich in einer 1l-Flasche mit nach Dresden genommen, wobei das im Bezug auf das Gebinde wohl eher einem Syphon gleicht. Stark würziger und malziger Geruch, deutliche Spuren des Karamellmalz. Ebenfalls starke Würze im Geschmack, gut gehopft, karamellmalzig und SEHR herber Abgang. Feines Bier!
