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 bottle in a biergarten in Salzburg, Austria. Pours a dark brownish-amber color with a large off-white head and excellent retention. Yeasty aroma, as I feared. The flavor is yeasty too, but not heavy yeast. Thankfully the dark malt taste offsets the yeast a bit. I'm not a fan of this style, but this is better than most dunkelweizens in my opinion. Medium body and medium-light carbonation. No bitterness.

Boah, das ist zwar sehr hopfig, aber sonst einfach zu brutal 🧌 bitter. Dadurch büßt es seine Spritzkeit ein und wird unnötig schwer. Brauche ich nicht mehr 👺

In aroma it's all about bananas. Some roasted cheese in the background. Some apples are present too. Almost not bitter, medium sweetness. It,s very refreshing.
