0.33 l bottle purchased in Hallstatt. Consumed straight from the bottle, therefore had no chance to take a look at its appearance. Well balanced bittersweet taste with slight bitterish finish that doesnt last long. Lively carbonated, easily drinkable, light bodied. Not bad, but quite dull.

Solange die Ostasiaten ausfallen, kann man als Österreicher auch mal Hallstatt besuchen, zumal es an Samstagen, Sonn- und Feiertagen einen direkten Zug von Wien nach Hallstatt gibt. Neben dem Hallstatt Bier, das in einigen Restaurants und Souvenir-Läden angeboten wird, fand ich bei einem Leberkäse-Standl dieses Bier, welches auch vom Schloss Eggenberg kommt, aber ein anderes Bier ist. Es ist recht flach und wenig aromatisch, aber lässt sich aufgrund der Wässrigkeit schnell trinken. Nicht grauslich, aber doch recht fade.

Bottle from a store in Hallstatt. Pours bright gold with a white head. Noble hop aroma wafts from the pour. Med body, almost. Flavor is bready, and there’s a good dose of spice/grass Noble hop. In comparison American Budweiser is water. Pretty dry and reasonably bitter. It’s better than many a cheap pils. Probably won’t finish it, but it’s not unworthy of being finished.

Bottle, 330 ml, courtesy of JFK10000. Shared with him and Max. Pours clear golden, short lasting white head. Stinky, malty, sweetish, bit acidic. Light bodied. Disaster.

330 ml bottle bought in Hallstatt, bb 06/2018.
Golden, clear body, with a small, off-white head.
Aroma of corn, grains, grass, herbs, some skunk.
Tastes of grains, grass, herbs, corn, malt sweetness.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes medium bitter, herbal, corny, a bit sweet, with some cardboard.

Meh. Typical, quite unpleasant Pale Lager. Although it seems to be quite fresh (judging from the bb date) there are already some cardboard off-notes and it has cornish notes throughout that I don’t like. Nothing I would drink again at all.

Bottle, 0.33l. Bought in a random store in Hallstatt, Austria. Pale golden pour with two finger soapy white head. Very visible carbonation. Pretty good head retention and ok lacing. Malty nose, a bit of caramel, some stale hops and a bit of hay. Medium body. A bit softer then average carbonation. Regular texture. Mildly bittersweet taste and aroma. Grainy, grassy. Some hops in the background producing nice refreshing bitterness. Herbal and peppery notes. Regular finish, slightly bitter. Overall, decent beer. Nothing extraordinary or exceptional, but nicely balanced and refreshing. Goes down really smoothly on a hot summer day.
