About
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.

Lagerbier Hell from Augustiner-Bräu

3.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 3 Flavor 4 Texture 4 Overall 3.5
500ml bottle shared with CatweazleTroms and Finn. Straw yellow body under a moderate, creamy foam. The foundation lies on sweet fruity hops with a good touch of ripe and, again, sweet banana. Far too much sweetness for my taste. Should have picked a more decent beer celebrating my 500 rating... (from the foreign beer list at The St Albans BF, 29.09.2006).

Label different than pictured. Pours yellow gold into a shaker. Bright white micro head leaves slight lacing as it slowly recedes. Bread, grass and hay aromas. Slightly sweet and light bodied. Lasting bitter finish.

Bottle. Small head with short duration. Color is clear brown. Aroma is caramel and roast malt but not very strong. Taste is caramel and roast malt as well. A bit more dull than other German dunkels.

7.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Beautiful dark red-brown beer with a purple shine; smallish dark yellow creamy head, fast gone. Bready, molasses, bit of licorice, cassis and plums in the nose. Bitterish, very roasted taste upon a truckload of mixed malts (chocolate/roasted/pale/Münich,...) bit metallic ending. Titillating, CO² impression MF, with medium to well-bodied, finish is, again, empty. Nose promises a lot, but the finish is really empty. I’m afraid this has been a way more complex beer, once. At least, it’s not too sweet.

Pour is dark brown with a minimal head that dissipates without leaving much evidence behind. Aromas are roasty, a little smokey/peaty and fruity. The first thing that hit me is that this has a much thicker mouthfeel than I expected. Almost syrupy. Flavor is also fruitier than I thought... when I first opened the bottle the aroma was almost entirely of dried fruit, but after a minute or so it became much more dark malt based... with the prune-like scents taking the backseat. I’m also picking up a slight hint of molasses and a bit of sweet stickiness. Well blended and nicely covers the 7.5% ABV...

Schmeckt wir ein typisches Lager, wobei der leicht fruchtige Aspket hervorzuheben ist. Im Abgang ist das Bier zwar wässrig, lässt aber durchaus eine leichte Malzigkeit hervorkommen. Test vom 27.8.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,9,11,10,7,10

(Draught at GBBF, London, 3 Aug) Colour is golden yellow with a huge white head. Nose is malty with a clean grain aroma and grassy hops. Taste is malty with a clean, fresh malt character and a bitter, grassy finish (well balanced bitterness). Some malty sweetness, but overall in great balance. Very enjoyable!

(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a clear, pilsener golden with a white head. Aroma of malt and alcohol. Fairly full body with plenty of sweet pilsener malt and a distinct hoppiness and alcohol in the finish. Not overly sophisticated - like very few pale Bocks are. 160806

A yellow beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is very sweet with light notes of hops - I find it boring. The flavor has light notes of cardboard (is it from the filtering?), as well as light notes of metal from the alcohol.

(Bottle, Priory Arms, Stockwell, London, 23 July) Colour is dark amber with ruby notes, disappearing off-white head. Nose is malty with cereal, caramel and dried fruit (raisins, prunes), sweetish. Very nice aroma. Taste is malty and roasted with cereal and caramel. Slightly sweet. Firm body but smooth to drink. A nice German dunkel, came as a welcome break from all the bitters on my English holiday.
