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.

Blonde colour. Lots of fizz. Minty, slightly spicy aroma. Light body. Flavour shows spicy hop notes and moderate bitterness. Quick rather than dry finish. More northern than Bavarian in style.

Bottled, surplus from RBSG, thanks oakes, alc. 5.6% (BB 10/2004)
Pale lager color, small vanishing head. Pils-grassy nose. Hoppy and bitter but a bit boring pils.

Bottled. Pale golden. Bready and dry with rounded, rich maltiness. Plenty of grassy hops and well balanced bitterness. A very good example of south German pils!

Pours with a light grassy, lemony aroma. Cloudy yellow-orange body with abundant "floaties" and a thin off-white head. Flavor is lemony and bready/toasty with spicy phenols that I can’t quite place. Finishes with a somewhat off-putting dirty yeast flavor. Contrary to some reviews here my bottle is not at all flavorless. All in all a mixed bag.

A light orange beer with no head. The aroma is sweet malty and the flavor simple but OK.

Draft. A light golden beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of straw and malt, but also lighter notes of hops. The flavor is sweet mlaty with notes of straw, leading to a slightly bitter and slightly floral finish.

Appearance: water with a bit of yellow food coloring. Smell: absolutely nothing special- smells like a beer tent at a festival. Taste: grassy water. This beer has very very very little flavor. Mouthfeel isn't bad, surprisingly. Just enough carbonation. I'll never drink this beer again, it simply isn't worth my time.

Clear brown color, short brown head. Aroma of caramel malts, bit metallic. Sweet caramel malty taste. Sticky palate. --- Beer merged from original tick of Dunkel on 07 Jun 2019 at 22:06 - Score: 8. Original review text: Fruitig, licht grassig en wat zwavelig. Karamel en ambermout is maar heel licht aanwezig, beetje chewy malts. Prima dunkel

Dark brown in colour, a small amount of ruby highlights are noticeable however. A unattractive off-white SUPER-large bubbled head tops the beer and fades fast. Aroma of strong raisins, caramel, soy sauce, grapes, malt and alcohol. Medium to Full-bodied; Chewy mouthful with a bunch of sweetness. Soon after the sugars hit the palate, some of the meatiness of the soy sauce becomes evident and then fades to a metallic maltiness. Aftertaste shows a bunch of the bittering characteristics of this one, and hardly any of the sweetness. Overall, this one changes over the 'sip lifecycle', but not too pleasant throughout! I bought this 33 cL bottle from Beers of the World in Rochester, New York and sampled it on 16-December-2003.
