The lable has been updated, now more trad/simple (illustrated cartoon^ gone) and the beer is styled 'Das Zwickl'.
Blind-tasted except for the beer's name and brewery/country, zero reviews below read (yet!)...
L- Beyond gold into pale amber. Pours with a hint of haze and a 2.5Cm off-white head.
S- Quite bready. Overall mild.
T- Quite vibrant dry trad hops on the front, that sustain, plus some bready malts coming in behind giving part balance.
F- Quite robust overall with the dry hops being the stand-out of note on the Feel too.
O- Like a lager with a dose more oomph to it + a solid dose more of trad dry hops. No fireworks or oddities, just a trad well hopped beer. Nothing wrong/out of place but will it do enough to justify repeat-buying assuming you're ex-Austria and it's at niche/specialist pricing... I'm not sold on that.
Review1966/scoring all done, now the reveal, I get to read the lables to see what I missed! --> ABV5.4%, the rest in German, but no obvious surprises.
500ml bottle BB: 11/11/2021 £3 Bought from TremblingMadness, York/UK as part of a large pick-your own consignment to London.

.5L emptied into a Pokal.
A: Pours a cloudy orange-gold with a fizzy 2-finger bone white head which collapses upon itself rather quickly, leaving a thick ring. Good lacing throughout.
S: Grassy hops, wet grain, sweet malt, citrus peel, conifer cones.
M: Medium bodied with good carbonation.
T: Yeasty bread with spicy Saaz hops. Slightly sweet malt with a dry finish. Bittersweet aftertaste which lingers.
D: Rather drinkable, but this is not my style of beer. This brewery does produce some quality beers, despite the rather cheap appearance of their labels.

I saw this lager at a Billa grocery store when I was in Vienna and decided to try it out after having and enjoying my first zwicklbier 2 days earlier. The 0.5 l bottle poured a thick, quick head with a golden cloudy appearance. The taste was very drinkable for a novice zwickl drinker, a good entry level to the style. Slightly bitter and almost flowery, there was also a hint of hefe-weisse flavors.
