Beer Description
We used Hersbrucker hops, giving the beer some nice German Noble hop aromatic with a slight citrus/herbal/spice on the tongue.
A Zwickelbier is a German lager that is “un-lagered”. Meaning you ferment out the beer cold like a lager but then don’t cold condition (or lager it) for as long as a traditional lager. Hense the name Zwickelbier, as a Zwickel is what the Germans call the sample port on their fermenters. So when the beer is done fermenting you can start drinking it straight from the Zwickel.
