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!

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. "

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.

[2nd Low Countries RateBeer meeting] Aroma of sour cream, malts and floral hops. Slightly hazy, yellow coloured with not much head. bit sweet, but overall bitter taste, hoppy, flowery. Well balanced. Nice!
