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.

Bottle, 7.1%. Sweet malt aroma, hint of pepper. Clear yellow colour. Small stable white head. Quite refreshing hop aroma, flowery with a little herbal touch in the finish. The flavour is a little citric, OK clean. Not caramelly like many light bocks, more like just a strong lager.

Bottle, bought in Mlada Boleslav, Bohemia: Pale golden, hazy, stable bleached head; moderate sweetish-fruity (lemons) and wheaty nose with a distinctive herbal (coriander) touch; light to moderate sweetish-sourish flavour, quite light bodied for a beer of 5.2% ABV; sweetish-grainy finish with a light lemony acidity in the aftertaste. Not unpleasant, a quite well polished Weizen.....

Can, 3%. Very weak citric aroma. Clear pale yellow colour. Almost no head. Weak flavour, at first just a little bread, but in the finish there is a little grassy aroma hops. OK for ABV.

Bottled. Clear golden, small head. Grassy spicy nose. Fruity and vinous, medium bodied with long resiny bitterness. Flavourful, but a bit unrefined.

Draught at Wachi. A decently made weiss, and somewhat original, but the herbs really got on my nerves. Too sweet and cloying. Overdone and unenjoyable.

The bottle looks simple, but good! Very zippy, nice head. Tastes spicy with a strong hoppy note. Not too dry, the finish is modest sourish. Not bad!
