Description
Amazing beers, plenty of creativity and a good portion of urban zest for life: these are the most important ingredients for our success. As Vienna’s oldest brewery, we have been known for having the highest quality and an extraordinary diversity of flavour for over 180 years. Our brewery resides in the heart of Vienna and has developed into a pulsating event location in accordance with our cosmopolitan flair. Here, in the heart of Ottakring, culinary and culture blend into a unique, delicious mixture.

The Ottakringer Brewery is the last remaining large Viennese brewery, and also one of the last large, independent breweries in Austria. This independence is extremely important to us as a family-run company. Our approximately 150 employees do everything in their power to keep it that way. The most important keys to our success are high-quality products, a wide variety of beers and our hunger for life, which has become our trademark.

22/01 Draught at the 3 Goldenen Kugeln, Graz. It had hazy reddish brown body with medium, slightly off white head. Weaker, sourish aroma, also peachy. Very slightly sweet caramel flavor, balanced with grass hops, but although pleasant it was quite watery. No matter of its thin body, awarded us with quite long, mostly hoppy finish, sourish to slightly bitter, with some caramel sweetness emerging at the very end. It’s definitely a Zwickl, not a Vienna, but I’m not too impressed after all.

Canned 500ml. -Courtesy of Marko/heavy, shared with them.
Pale golden coloured, small white head, usual n/a nose. Corn, cardboard and water with quite bitter finish. Not so offensive but still crap.

Yellow coloured with green glare, small white head that lasts only one second, artificial lemony nose. Briefly, artificial and watery with short finish. Crap again.

Pale golden coloured, small white head, dusty sweetish nose. Malty honeyish taste with almost nothing except some cardboard in the finish. Not good.

Can at a Penny Markt in Graz. Golden body, small white head. Worty crappy nose, soggy cornflakes. Empty worty taste, not too sweet, not too dry, light bitterness and acidity. Meh.

Can at a Penny Markt in Graz, shared with ogivlado and heavy. Shiny yellow colour, no head really. Lemony washing liquid in the nose, some crap candyish notes. Lemony taste, artificial I guess, sweet and candyish, lemon drops really, notes of lime maybe, all bad.

Bottle, probably at some Billa store in Graz, shared with heavy. Poured a pale golden body with a small white head. Light, slightly perfumey sweet nose, but (missing a descriptor). "Light crappy lager with notes of dogfood that ends shitty." Yeah, I guess that says it all.

Humm, guessing this is it, as the Gösser Jubiläumsbier is refered to mostly as "Dunkles Zwickl". Draught at the 3 Goldenen Kugeln, Seiersberg, Graz as the "beer of the month". Anyway, poured a darker, completely murky red colour. Fruity malty nose, nothing too special. The taste is pretty much more of the same, full and kinda ruined by some kind of acidity and yeastiness. Slightly underwhelming, but still better than the average Austrian lager and it did well to douse the fires the lovely 3 Goldenen Kugeln Country Cordon left in my untrained mouth. I’ll probably rerate this at a point since I’m not 100% sure if I should even be rating it.

Bottle in Salzburg, Austria. Smooth malty lager. Dry sweet malty finish. Unremarkable but okay.
