Palate: balanced, grainy, hoppy

Impression: After having two unusually hoppy beers for their styles, I think Stefansbräu hit the exact right style for them. I like a dry hoppy Zwickl and this one very much fits the bill. The grain is an undercurrent but adds to the otherwise dry hoppy palate. The finish is quite dry and only slightly bitter, making it moreish. Bottled version I brought home was excellent too.
