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.

330ml Bottle- Pale golden in colour with a small head. The aroma is mainly dominated by lemon but there is some malt in there too. Refreshing and clean taste with sweet lemon being very noticeable yet subtle along with some malt. Refreshing but not one to take too seriously.

Big coarseish beige uneven lasting head. Cloudy opaque brown body. Yeasty bananaish aroma with roasty peppery grassy notes. Faint bananaish taste with roasty grassy notes and some herbal traces. Sharp, fizzy mouthfeel. No real aftertaste, just goes empty. Nice, light, boring. (0.5l bottle, Sternbräu, Salzburg.)

Medium white shiny head. Hazy yellow body with carbonation. Light yeasty grassy aroma, mild and clean. Dryish yeasty herbal taste with chalky grassy notes and some pepper. Some faint sweetness and spiciness, too. Good, drinkable, uncomplicated. (0.3l draft at Zipfer Bierhaus, Salzburg under the name "Kaiser Kellerbier".)

Big offwhite shiny lasting head. Hazy pale yellow body with carbonation. Light banana aroma with yeasty ashy notes. Dryish chalky banana taste with a vague herbal spiciness. Mild, slightly watery, chalky mouthfeel. Mid-bodied. A bit fizzy in the mouth. It’s all right, but boring. (0.3l draft at Zipfer Bierhaus, Salzburg.)

Found Edelweiss in a Prague supermarket. Very pleased with my purchase. Fine, foamy head. Diaphonous, golden color is slightly more transparent than the typical weissbier. This Edelweiss is not your typical weissbier. It is hard for me to put my finger on exactly what separates Edelweiss, except for the color. As others have said, it has a spice flavor and aroma. Lovely, smooth finish. It’s very refreshing.

330ml Bottle- Amber/orange in colour with a small head. The aroma is spicy with bananas featuring prominently. The taste is quite mellow at first but the spices are detectable again with the banana being very noticeable and lingering in the finish.

0.5 l bottle from an Eurospar in Graz. Poured golden body with big white cremy head. Interesting aroma, which is dominated by citrus and grass rather than other, malty component. Sourish flavor initially, but mostly sweetish malty, pleasant but pretty empty for the style. Alcohol is quite well hidden. Finish is some herbal bittersweet, relatively short. Unusual bock, nothing special though, pretty boring, but still not bad and drinkable.
