Jan. ’16. On tap at the brewpub. It poured a dark brown body with a big brownish head atop. Pleasant hoppy aroma, but nothing too strong, roasted malt like coffee and cocoa still prevailed. Lightly bitter flavor both from herbal hop roasted malt contribution. Some fine flavors besides coffee were picked up, like chocolate, cocoa, nuts, dark fruits. Tasty. Medium bodied, also creamy on palate. Finish was long, lightly sweet chocolate and cocoa. Very nice, likely the best in hard competition of their six taps.
By that point, the brewmaster noticed me rating and asked the waitress to share the opinions about the test batch of their new stout with nitro, much lighter and quite inferior to anything on their offer. Supposedly, guests didn’t quite like this one. Really, people? Now, entering the ratings I realize most of their stuff is replaced with new beers, for which I feel a bit sorry, since it easily became my second favorite brewpub in Vienna, inevitable on any future trip there. All beers were clean, well made and problem-free. I can just compliment the brewmaster(s).

Jan. ’16. On tap at the brewpub. It poured a clear reddish-brown body with medium sized head. Hoppy aroma, fruity and lemony, rather sharp, despite caramel malt in the background. Similar battle was played in the flavor, too, it was mostly herbal, with caramel malt balancing these hops lightly, but the bitterness prevailed. Long, dry bitter finish. A fine, well made, modern, bitter amber ale, although I would prefer a tad more of toasted malt.

Jan. ’16. On tap at the brewpub. It poured a clear golden body, with medium to big head. Waitress brought it together with pils, carefully remembering which is which, this was only a tad darker but no way to recognize them by the looks anyway. But, of course, by nose they were easily identified. This one was typical for the style, strong orange and fruit hop aroma. Lightly sweet biscuit, sugar, tropical fruits. Quite low bitterness. No alcohol felt, even seemed very low in it. Medium body. A pleasant, very aromatic IPA with very low bitterness. Interesting, but not outstanding, as some of their other beers.

Jan. ’16. On tap at the brewpub. It poured a clear golden body with medium to big head that lived short. Aromatic, fruity, especially citrus Saphir note that I recognized, peppery. Positively peculiar. Flavor was only lightly bitter, actually more than I expected when read the description, but also bready and very creamy on palate. Medium to full in body with long malty finish that showcased some very fine biscuit and caramel note. Quite nice.
