Malt-colored beer "light amber" light, pleasant malty aromatic smell. Somewhat light, summery taste, hop aroma stays in the background. Compared to the rest of the Kneitinger product range, it is a little easier to drink thanks to the reduced original wort content of 12.2%.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear amber with a lacing, off-white head. Slight biscuity nose. Solid malty body, is that even a slight smokiness. Solid finishing bitterness. Well crafted and in no way a light summer beer. 021025

Kneitinger Sommerbier 1861, vom Faß im Kneitinger am Arnulfsplatz und im Kneitinger-Keller. - Schönes Bronzegold, klar. - In der Nase gut abgelagertes, zart gerstiges Wiener Malz und milde Hopfung. - Antrunk schlank und etwas leichter aber gediegen toastmalzig mit feiner Restsüße mit zarter Honignote. Sehr delikate wenngleich etwas verhaltene orangenbittere Hopfung mit leisen mediterranen Zügen. Milder rezent. Im Abgang schlanke, trocken orangenschalige Hopfenherbe. - Erstklassiges Sommerbier, ein wenig leichter im Körper aber elegant gehopft, ausgereift und gediegen. (28/29.7.2023.)

Tap at the restaurant. Pretty pale amber with a tall, rocky head. Toasty Vienna malt nose, herbal hops, lemon, bread. Very toasty, malty and yet light and summery like a summer version of their Dunkles, really. Nicely hopped, grasses, herbs, lemon, with a prickly finish. Good balance.

330ml bottle [Thanks Maddie for the "Kneitinger Produktpalette"-lightweight!]. Crystal clear, faint amber colour with average to huge, thick, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Sweet-ish caramel malty and soggy grainy aroma, hints of silage and rabbit droppings, plain bitter hoppy overtones. Taste is slightly sweet caramel malty, diluted sweetness, hints of hay, a grainy touch, slightly grassy and moderately bitter hoppy overtones with a metallic touch. Unintelligible clear glass bottle packaging produces a "Becksizationing" effect for sure.

Clear dark golden color, topped with a hefty white head, slowly settling down. Mild malty aroma, slight fruity notes. The taste starts sweet, a bit too much, followed by a gentle bitterness. Slight metal feel in the aftertaste, but drinkable.
