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.

0.5ll can brought from Austria by a friend (thanks Ivana!) Slightly darker golden body, thick medium sized white head that went away at a medium pace. Grainy malt in the nose, light honey. Malty taste, grainy and fruity (going orange), kinda likable, at least to me. Not much hop, very light lemony acidity. I usually like pale lagers that taste like this but this isn’t one of the more quality specimens. Ok enough!

08/08 Directly from a 0.5 l can on a gas station near Wien. Famous boring pale lager aroma with even some corn. Flavor isn’t much better, first impression is nothing but watery, slightly sweet in it with even some wood. Somehow oily on palate, with lot of carbonation. Strange, but it had a bit bitter finish. Everything here is completely drinkable, but it’s so boring and pretty tasteless I couldn’t enjoy it anyhow.

On tap at Krah-Krah, Vienna: Hazy, pale golden with a lacy, mid-sized white head; yeasty-sourish nose with some pale-malty influences, a bit barnyardy, too; light to moderate sweetish-sourish flavour, light bodied; lingering sourish and fruity finish. Not so convincing.............

bottle. Clear golden colour, mid-sized head. Malty nose. Malty flavour, slightly hoppy with a dry mouthfeel. Very very shy, but detectable hints of pumpkin. Neither bad nor spectacular.

Biggish white shiny head of large unevenly sized bubbles does not last. Pale yellow body with vigorous carbonation. Light papery malty aroma with straw notes. Traces of caramel and hops. Dry-sweet grainy straw taste with a rubbery background. Very soft and mild. No real aftertaste, just fades out. Tastes a lot like beer, without offending anyone. Could be worse. (0.5l bottle from Billa, Salzburg.)
