About This Beer
Einsiedler Zwickelbier Lager represents German brewing heritage at its finest. As an unfiltered lager, or “kellerbier,” it preserves the yeast and proteins usually removed from filtered lagers. This results in a naturally cloudy appearance and a more complex, rounded flavour. At 5.2% ABV, it strikes the perfect balance between malty sweetness and refreshing crispness, making it a go-to for those who enjoy traditional yet approachable German lagers.
Tasting Notes

Aroma: Gentle notes of fresh bread, soft malt sweetness, and subtle floral hops.
Flavour: Smooth biscuit malt up front with hints of honey and grain, balanced by delicate hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with a soft carbonation, giving it a rounded and refreshing finish.
