What Beer Are You Drinking Now? #4280

Good morning.

Alder Beer Company (Seregno, ITA) - KARPFEN - Zwickel Pils (4,8%)

44 cl can (€6 from the beershop fridge).
On the label: "Lot: L044F - Packaging date: 03/27/2024 - Best before: 08/27/2024".
It's a Zwickel Pils, a German-style bottom-fermented beer, particularly from the Franconia region.
In this case it's specially produced with very soft water, the use of only typical Pils malt of Bavarian origin and the noble, always Bavarian, Rottenburger hops cultivated by the Locher company, hop producers from Tettnang, (GER), overlooking the near Lake Constance and the Alps behind it, where this hop cultivation of approximately 20 hectares is located.

As soon as the can is opened, on the nose there are not excessive sickly notes, reminiscent of the crust of hard bread, with sweeter, slightly honeyed reflections.
Poured with the scent of bread crust and hours typical of breadsticks, more herbaceous notes are added.
Color of a beautiful light golden, very clean, almost completely transparent and foam present in the right quantity, with a density of cappuccino foam.
In the mouth, a beer with a slim body, very tasty but also low in carbonation.
The initial taste is that of bread, with a succession of notes of honey and light spacing (a little pepper). The finish, however, is dry, not bitter, characterized by more herbaceous notes (almost chicory), with few particular nuances, but which gives a worthy closure to the beer, leaving light soft malty notes on the palate.
There is a traditional, old-fashioned and no-frills taste, but it lacks a bit of liveliness.
It is very easy to drink, as they say "it goes down straight", but in my opinion it is too lacking in sparklingness.
Although very good in terms of taste, a more lively carbonation would have made the drink more complete and also thirst-quenching, however it remains very tasty but a little flat for my tastes.






Sláinte .
Cheers .

 

Good drawing - reminds me of Ann Margret

 

Gorgeous morning and a nice crusher. Cheers all.

 

One more before we scoot.

 

As much as I love Ann Margaret, this one looks like Cybill Sheppard to me. Another fond memory. Cheers.

 

Love that can artwork!

 

Nicole Kidman?

 

I got this one @Shanex , though I believe I've only seen one of her movies, which she was To Die For.

Speaking of which, still crazy to have four of these beers released in February 2023 left, but after I finish the last few ounces I'll be down to three. The brewery cancelled their annual release and sadly did not even bring back a small batch so far after a decade of greatness.

You may recall this from a movie I also never seen all the way through, but have watched about 30 minutes of clips over the years on YouTube. Maybe next Thanksgiving.
