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.

0,5l bottle from BillaPlus Hainburg an der Donau, Austria. Head is medium, white, average retention. Colour is straw, clear. Aroma is malty, bready, vaguely fruity, bit hoppy. Taste is medium malty base, light bready, bit toast, decent bitterness, soft carbonation, bit hoppy, boring yet ok, drinkable.

kristalno čisto, zlatno-žarko pivo koje izgleda kao da je izašlo ravno iz reklame, ali bez prenemaganja. Okus je odlučan, svježe-hrskav i elegantno sladak, s blagom gorčinom koja dolazi taman kao dobro tempiran sarkazam.

tamno pšenično pivo bogate arome i pune, tamno-smeđe boje s finom kremastom pjenom. U mirisu i okusu ističu se karamela, prženi slad te blage note banane i klinčića, dok je gorčina vrlo suptilna. Unatoč punijem tijelu, ostaje ugodno pitko i lijepo izbalansirano. Izvrsna piva za opušteno uživanje.

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.

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
