Mainlust Zwickel
Brewery: Mainlust
Town: Viereth
Style: Zwickel
Color: unfiltered yellow honeycomb, rocky white head
Nose: grainy malt
Body: medium-bodied
Palate: well-balanced, malty, grainy, soft
Finish: clean
Served: from a bottle at the brewery
Impression: I liked their Helles so much, I opted to try another bottled beer rather than return to their Fassbier. This Zwickel is likely the unfiltered version of the Helles and was a bit more rounded and maltier. The hop element was masked and there was some residual yeast flavor. It was a pleasant beer and if I’d had it before the Helles, I’d have probably enjoyed it more. It’s surely a thirst quencher on a summer day.
Next beer or back to the beer list.

I'm an American living in Munich and Bamberg. Why? Well, I came for the beer but stayed for the girl. I'm very happily married to a German woman. Of course, the bonus of great beer certainly doesn't hurt. An avid love of hiking and finding new beers has led me to found Beerwanderers, an information resource on beer hiking trails in Franconia with an emphasis on Franconian food specialties and the endless variety of amazing beer the region is renowned for. I also published my first book Beer Hiking Bavaria which features 50 beer hikes in Bavaria and lead beer hiking experiences for those who love beer & nature. View all posts by beerwanderers
