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.

0.33l bottle courtesy of a friend (thanks Pepa!), shared with ogivlado Poured a pale golden colour with a thick small white head that went away fast. Light nose, dry yet sweetish and slightly cardboardy maltiness mingling with some acidic vegetable-like hop notes. The taste is more of the same when it comes to hops, acidic and vegetabley. Some sweet vaguely honeyish maltiness too. The hop does give out some bitterness near the end, mixing with the carbonation bite. A typical Austrian macro lager, if anything.

Can on a flight from Vienna to Bucharest. Golden color with a large white head. Very boring and tasteless. Smelled almost nothing with a little light bread taste.

On tap at Zu den 2 Lieserln in Vienna, July 09. The cloudy, a little copper-like color was the biggest plus beer, I also liked the thick foam. The taste was pretty lame with some elements of fruit and citrus. Easy to drink without too exciting taste.

01/08 A 0.5 l bottle from Interspar Udine. It poured dark red to brown body with small brownish head. Nice dark malty aroma, some caramel, dark fruits and even chocolate. Flavor was nice as well, caramelly, slightly sugary and fruity. Unfortunately, watery, very thin bodied, with short sweetish and watery finish. Nice beer, if only had somewhat more body!

01/08 A 0.5 l can from Interspar Udine. It poured pale yellow body with medium sized head that typically went down fast. Artificial lemony aroma, thus boring. Flavor was hardly any improvement, dominated by strange make of bitter spice that is otherwise usual in Austrian radlers, and some artificial sweetener. Finish is more sweet however. All in all, a lower quality radler.
