Hanseatische Brauerei Rostock GmbH is a brewery founded in 1878, in the Hansestadt Rostock, Germany. The brewery belongs to the Radeberger Group, which is owned by the Oetker-Group.

This pilsner type beer comes in a 500 ml glass bottle, at 4.9% alcohol. I bought it at the price of 0.99 Euro, in a local supermarket on the island Rügen, Germany.

Rostocker Zwickel is a pilsner, but unfiltered to give a original experience as close to the Germany Beer Purity Law, as possible.

Nice yellow color with a thick haziness to it.

Nice big white head with fine foam on top.

Aroma is with a clear pilsner tone to it, hops shine through.

Good CO2 level, it has the freshness of the pilsner and full-bodied feeling of a unfiltered wheat beer. After taste is a weak fruit but ends mostly in bitterness.

A solid old-school pilsner beer.

Overall rating 82 / 100
