Description
1328 wurde die Brauerei erstmals namentlich genannt. In 1803 mussten im Rahmen der Säkularisation die Mönche das Kloster verlassen und es wurde aufgelöst. Nur die Klosterbrauerei wurde anfänglich unter staatlicher und später unter privater Führung weitergeführt.

1829 erwarben Anton und Therese Wagner, eine Brauerfamilie aus Attaching bei Freising, die Sudstätte. Seitdem ist die Brauerei eine bürgerliche Privatbrauerei in Familienbesitz. Therese Wagner erwarb in 1857 einen Lagerkeller an der Landsberger Straße. Auf dieses Gelände wurden später die gesamten Produktionsanlagen verlegt. Edith Haberland-Wagner, die letzte Verwandte mit dem Nachnamen Wagner und Haupteigentümerin der Brauerei, vermacht in 1996 ihre Anteile der von ihr gegründeten Edith-Haberland-Wagner-Stiftung. Nun hält die Stiftung etwas über 50 Prozent der Augustiner Brauerei.

Das Bier startet malzig und leicht herb, wird aber immer süßer, bis es im Nachgeschmack fast schon unanganehm süß ist. Röstmalzige Aromen findet man höchstens im Nachgeschmack. Wässriges Durchschnittsdunkel ohne Profil. Test vom 11.2.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,7,8,7,13,8

Bottle: Hazy, orangey coloured, medium-sized, quite stable and firm off-white head; fruity nose: mainly bananas, traces of citrus and a tinge of strawberries - and, what a luck - nearly no dammned dental cloves; slightly sweetish fruity flavour with a tinge of caramel, creamy mouthfeel; fruity finish, only a little bit tart/yeasty in the end. Pleasant, refreshing, decent.........................

500 ml bottle, bought in Bier Spezi, Hamburg. Very pale golden colour, large head. Moderate aroma of grass, fruits and pale malts. Flavour is surprisingly bland, some grassy and sweetish notes. Low bitterness. ABV is well hidden. Drinkable, but I expected more than this. Confirms my theory that the Octoberfest is a ridiculously over-hyped event for American and German binge drinkers, and has very little, if anything, to do with a great beer selection or beers out of the ordinary.

A dark amber beer with a thick brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel, and the flavor is very sweet malty, again with primary notes of caramel, but the body is thin.

Yellow-brown head, disappearing fast to rim; deep red-brown beer. Nose: all kinds of sweet & dark things: molasses, dark sweet bread, chocolate, dark malts, moccha. Taste is cigarette ashes envelopping some faint-sweet bread, touch of chocolate and lots of dark, far from all-sweet malts. Hints of hops, even. Very evenly balanced. Medium bodied. Aftertaste seems sweeter again, hints of caramel. Nice Dunkel, and a Godsend compared to their Oktoberfest disaster. Thanks for the supply, joss.

Very pale clear gold; very white, fluffy head. Creamy, faint malty nose. Lightly perfumed, but rather nondescript overtone. Grassy, rainwater, sweet pale malts, maybe a bit (white) bready. Dull to an extreme. Grist slickness, cobwebby feeling, watery. Do they really serve this tasteless stuff on the O’Fest? Let me remember to keep away from this non-event.

Bright golden beer; just-yellow head, fast gone. Dry, warm summergrain in the nose, followed by a lot of very grassy, herbal notes. Dry, hop-bitterish pils, with a little background reserve of maltsugar. Quite balanced, but not very exciting. Light but not thin. Aftertaste yields good hopbitterness. Decent Pilsner, quite OK & refreshing.
