Stiegl-Weizengold is proof positive that we at the Stiegl Brewery in Salzburg are just as much experts at brewing "weissbier" as the Bavarians: Stiegl-Weizengold. 12 ° original gravity, 5.3 % alcohol by volume, finest ingredients, top-fermenting process. All of these are responsible for top quality and an unmistakable flavour. Stiegl-Weizengold is available in two types, the lighter-coloured "Hefefein" and the darker "Dunkel". "Hefefein" weissbier from Salzburg, is refreshing, untreated and invigorating. Brewed by Brauerei Riegele, Augsburg, Germany under supervision of the Stiegl Brauerei.

500ml bottle. Pours a thick orange-tan color with a nice fluffy white head. The aroma has a little sulfur above the malt. Have to disagree with their description, not a threat to the Bavarians at all. There is some refreshing clove in the motuhfeel, but lacks that banana fresh taste found in most Hefes. All out wheat taste is nice, not unlike some US versions, albeit with a better general mouthfeel than it’s stateside counterparts. A good beer, assumably that much better fresh in Austria.

On tap at Brew Wharf, Borough Market. Cloudy paleish straw gold. Thin white head. Pretty standard weizen. Its got banana and cereal and bit of bubblegum. Not terribly aromatic. Cereal is quite subdued in mouth. Quite smooth and easy drinking. No real herbiness. Fine, if laking a little in character. The lemon curd finish is good.

Bottle in Vienna, 2006. Opaque golden color, full of yeast, extremely cloudy, nice head. Spicy, fruity aroma, quite strong. Bananas, cloves, coriander. Full malt flavor, with coriander, cloves, bananas. Very nice. Slightly sweet, spicy, with a sweetish finish. No faults, though not extremely interesting either. East drinking weissbier.

Big coarseish white lasting head is creamy on top. Cloudy yellow body. Fruity peppery aroma, very clean, with banana notes. Dryish milky peppery hop taste with banana notes. Dry grassy, mild aftertaste. Creamy, soft mouthfeel. Very nice and drinkable, but not very exciting. Hoppy for a weizen, though. (0.3l draft at Stiegl Keller, Salzburg.)
