The brewery master edition number 41 comes from the pen of the talented master brewers Götz Steinl and Anton Schwarz. The two of them came up with a finely hopped lager and gave it a venerable name: the work is called Zythos Humulus Electus and if we dare to interpret it roughly, it probably means something like “Traditional beer made from exquisite hops”. Zythos is an ancestor of today’s beer, which comes from ancient Egypt. Humulus is the Latin term for hops and the word Electus means something that has been chosen with care.
An excellent title for a beer that contains six hand-picked types of hops!
Götz and Anton have chosen the variants Herkules, Hallertauer Tradition, Nugget, Hersbrucker, Saphir and Select for their extraordinary lager and processed them into a flavor-intensive brew. The result is straw yellow in color and has a small crown of thick white foam on the naturally cloudy water. Olfactory, the lager presents itself with gentle grain notes that combine with fragrant hay, grassy hops and tangy lemon to create a tempting mixture. The initial taste reveals a stable malt base that tastes of freshly baked bread, sun-ripened grain and ripe stone fruits. The hops accentuate the play of aromas with hints of citrus fruits, gooseberries and herbs and provide a harmonious bitterness.
