Description
In 1449, Urbar von Wallsee first mentioned a brewery in Hofstetten. This is the oldest record we have of a brewery at this location, and it is a date that has granted us a place in the Guinness Book of Records as the Oldest Brewery in Austria. The tavern/brewery has been in the hands of the Krammer Family since 1847. Now in our fifth generation, we still proudly combine hops and malt daily to make the beautiful product of beer.

0,5 flaske fra nærlageret på Kvaddå, hjemme mens Kitty har styremøte i BB2: klar kobbergylden med ok skum. Malt, brød, mørke karameller, litt urter og citrus i fint samspill, dog uten at det leder til en overbevisende finale. Men alle nye bryggerier er velkomne på statistikken min.

330 ml bottle, bb 12.11.2026. Orange, hazy body, with a big, fluffy head.
Aroma of orange juice, apricot, citrus, wet grass, pine, oat, some tropical fruits, some vanilla. Tastes similar, with more earthy and mineralic notes.
Quite creamy mouthfeel, with a quite lively carbonation. Finishes earthy, piney, mineralic, citric, oaty, medium bitter, slightly sweet.

Very quaffable, clean and balanced, not too juicy and sweet, with enough characterful piney, earthy notes and a satisfying malt base. Surprisingly great example of that modern style by that traditional Austrian brewery!
