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.

500 ml can from Billa, Vienna, Austria. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a thick white head and great retention. Lots of streaming carbonation. Pretty good lacing. Standard pale lager aroma. Standard pale malt flavor too, with some light bread and a lightly bitter finish. A very smooth, clean, refreshing beer. Medium-light body. Medium carbonation. Low bitterness. Another unremarkable yet good Austrian beer.

0.5 l can. Shares alll the characteristics of an average commercial pale lager, but with a bit more hops in aroma and taste than the usual. These bitterish hops scent/taste make it slightly above average for me.

0.5 l can from a random Austrian shop. Pours golden color and thick white head that disappears quickly. In aroma both the sweet malts and bitter hops are present. In taste it’s just like its aroma, well rounded bittersweet. Its only flaw that it’s quite watery, could be heavier on body.
