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.

Lightly hazy blonde with a thick white small bubbled head. Floaties noticed. Light bananas and cloves in aroma, with notes of lemons. Fresh wheat with the bananas coming out nicely, but rather thin bodied compared to German Hefeweizens. Still, a nice summer beer.

Version for Swedish market (class I). Yellow, not much head. Sweetish, grassy hops in the nose. Suprisingly medium-bodied. Sweet malty, hops come in the finish. Decent low alcohol pilsener.

Yay! I finally retrieved the ratings I lost when I dropped my handheld... by getting another handheld. Draft, at "il Patio" restaurant, St. Petersburg, Russia; notes from 6/9/04. An everyday weiss, but a nice break from all the Russian pale lagers. Thin head with no lacing, paler than the standard body, but with a decent wheat haze. Taste is okay, some lemon and banana notes. I also get a bit of a rubbery taste, though. Hate to say this, but perhaps it would have been better served cold?

(Bottle 50 cl) Nice yellowish golden beer without much head. Lots of sweet malt in a fine balance with some discreet hops. Not excactly thrilling but rather pleasant though. 150505

Bottle. Strong malt aroma. Pale yellow with quickly collapsing head. Sweet malt and orange flavor - high carbonation (go figure). Watery. Okay but weak.

Laut Dose "die Spitzensorte der Brauerei Zipf". Dem stimme ich nicht zu, schlecht ist es aber nicht. Insgesamt ist dieses Bier ziemlich mild. Dezente herbe und ein säuerlicher Abgang runden dieses Bier ab. Trinkbar ja - den Märzen dieser Firma trinke ich jedoch um einiges lieber! Test vom 5.4.2005, Gebinde: Dose Noten: 7,8,6,5,6,7

(Bottle 33 cl) Comes as "Zipfer Original". Quite classical golden lager with a pretty high hoppiness. Not much fuss about this one. 140701
