Description
When the young Viennese banker Franz Schaup started brewing beer in 1858, he did not expect his small brewery to develop into one of the most successful breweries in Austria over the years.

In the meantime, the Zipf brewery near the Attersee has a proud 13 beers and 3 types of hops, the refreshment with hop lemonade for adults, to their range. A total of 170 employees work directly at the location in Zipf. They are the ones who ensure that everything runs smoothly every day and are responsible for a large part of the success of the Zipfer brand.

Despite the numerous technical innovations and a merger with Brau Union Österreich AG in 1970, the careful use of resources and brewing with natural hops were always in the foreground.

As a Zipfer Heller. 660ml bottle from E.Leclerc. Alc was 5,4% ABV. Fajna flaszka, z etykieta tylko na grubej jak lejek szyjce z czesciowo owinietym kapslem. (czasy ze 20 lat temu gdzie ta wielka butla lezala w kazdym markecie, Hypernova, Leclerc, billa i real w kazdym z tych marketow na przelomie milenium) Dość dobry, ale spodziewałem się po tym piwie czegoś więcej. Piana spoko. Chmiel wyczuwalny, piwo mało słodowe. Jasny słomkowy kolor przypomina niemieckie klasyczne pilsnery, czy exclusiv, a to juz inna historia.

0.5 bottle. Pours dark golden yellow with quickly dissipating white head. Aroma of cardboard, herbs, and grass. Medium carbonation, body is medium. Taste of cardboard, hay, quite sweet and hint of honey. Finish is quite bitter and lasts quite some time.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a clear golden with a solid and lacing, white head. Discreet floral hops. Medium body, very soft on the palate, strangely fruity and yeasty with a solid finishing bitterness. Not bad but odd for a Pilsner. 020226

Natürlich will man in Zipf auch am Boom von alkoholfreien Bier 🚙 mitmachen und gibt dieses neue Produkt heraus.
Es ist ein durchaus trinkbares, aber sehr wässriges 🏝 Getränk, mit dem man zwar noch gut Autofahren 🏎 , aber doch nicht wirklich erfreuen 🙂‍↕️ kann.
