Oct. ’14. On tap at the Fischer Bräu, Vienna. I was sure it was their beer, it was offered as a regular dunkel on tap along with their own helles. It poured clear dark red body with medium sized head. Completely malty aroma, mostly caramel and some roasted sugar. Flavor was very sweet, too, again with the same as in aroma. Full body, I guess since it was too cloying sweet? No complexity, utterly simple. I wrote down it’s a complete fail. Now, when I know it’s not a brewpub thing it makes some sense.

getrunken im Frühling 2015
Dass ein Bockbier kein leichtes Pilsbier ist, ist schon klar, aber dieses Getränk erreicht eine neue Marke der Bitterkeit, was sehr zum Leidwesen von anderen Aromen geht. Daher würde ich es nicht empfehlen.

Bottled in Vienna. From old notes. Very nice, full bodied, sweet but very fruity white beer with some citrus notes working together with the cloves and banana. Pretty good.

Bottle. Clear, pale golden body, with a big, frothy, white head. Aroma of grains, hay, grass, honey. Taste is a bit watery, with grains, bread, herbs, honey. Mouthfeel is light, slick, with a low carbonation and it finishes medium bitter, with grains and herbs. Average Pilsener, nothing special.

Pours out a typical golden color, clear, and topps the glass with an average white foamy head that goes away rather soon. The aroma is again nothing special. There are some malts and some (sweet) grains present. The tatse naturally follows the nose. Sweet start, followed by balanced body coming together with mild (only just) bitterness. Nice, drinkable, ordinary.

Draught at Krah Krah, Vienna. Dark copper clear body with medium white head. Light aroma of roasted malt, caramel, bread. Taste is very sweet, with caramel, candy, red berries, bread, some roastyness, only a light bitterness. Medium, oily mouthfeel, with a sweet, slightly roasty finish. Overall much too sweet and pretty one-dimensional.
