Review: 33cl bottle of Valaisanne Zwickelbier, Bière de Cave : 5.4% vol.

A Zwickelbier, also called Kellerbier, the literal translation is “Cellar Beer”, an unfiltered, “naturally cloudy” beer. The term is based on the fact that the beer comes directly “from the storage cellar”, ie drunk or bottled without filtration.

Comes in a very decent looking bottle that has a well designed label and logo with pretty lettering, stands out. Bought in Coop, local supermarket.

It is looking cloudy and I see a lot of sediment floating, and that’s from the bottle and even before I crack it open! It is a Zwickelbier for sure, bursting to get out! Wonder would this count as part of my 5 a day, what with all the nutrients on sight?

Looks very good on pour, getting a very nice decent sized white head, which settles very, very well, and a lovely golden coloured beer.

Not so cloudy when poured.

Head maintains very well, some good lacing. All in all it is a very good looking beer, very nice on the eye.

Aroma of fruits and straw, all light though. Getting a red berry note.
