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.

Blond color. Light aroma of hay. The flavor is a bit sweeter than the usual low alcohol, but poor anyway.

Bottle. Medium gold color and not much of a head. Malty aroma, some grain and a bit of grassy hop. Rather dead. Rich malty flavor, a bit of fruit and a touch of piney hops. Relatively sweet and rich. Decent but not much character really. A bit of grassy hops and bitterness at the finish. OK, but I think it was surely better on tap in Vienna. Not nuanced enough for a helles, but not hoppy enough for a pils.

660ml Bottle - Golden with a white head. Malty aroma with corn and a hint of lime. Malty and slightly sweet taste with grain, corn and a faint hint of honey. Drinkable, but not very exciting.

Bottle, labeled Original Import, 5.4%. It pours a slighlty chill hazed orange-golden body under a minimal layer of off-white bubbles. Fruit-syrupy sweetish nose with grains. Sweet flavor too, too sweet I think, with grains as a backbone, and a little bitterness lingering. The bitterness is overpowered by the sweetness all the way though. Medium body and appropriated carbonation considering the sugary feeling. Far from impressing, but not bad. Lacks on quenching qualities I think. 091102

.66 liter bottle, labeled "Original Import." Pours bright golden color, healthy column of bubbles, standard white head with no lace. Can’t detect much smell, there was a whiff of oxidation upon opening, but it’s gone right away. Taste is upfront with nice, spicy noble hops. Malts stay toward the back, just light bread, if there’s adjunct, it’s not obvious. A light European lager that I caught while still fresh. At $2.50 for a big bottle, it’s worth checking out.

Draught. Clear golden with good head. Vegetable aroma. Light bodied with good carbonation. Slightly sweet malty foretaste with fair bitter finish. Nice easy drinking.
