It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Beer: Kress Bayrisch Zwickel

Today's half liter of goodness is the Kress Bayrisch Zwickel.  Zwickels are a type of kellerbier, which means they are unpasteurized and, as a result, cloudy.  Sometimes, you'll see "naturtrüb" on German wheat beers or kellerbiers and zwickel, and that basically means that it's gonna be cloudy.  Zwickels are nice and malty, so I enjoy them.  This one is made by Privatrauerei H. Egerer in Großköllnbach, which is in Bavaria, about a 70-mile swim up the Isar River from Munich.  True story:  the "ß" in German is pronounced as "ss" in English.  Another true story:  I like this beer.
