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.

330 ml bottle shared by Werckmeister, thanks!
Amber to copper, moderate hazy body, with a medium, creamy, a bit lacing, yellowish head.
Aroma of orange, dried fruits, biscuit, honey, some vanilla.
Taste follows this, with subtle citrus and booze.
Quite full, oily mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes boozy, sweet, hoppy, fruity.

Nice one. Sweet and boozy, with hoppy notes. Similar to the other Iced IPAs, except that this is even a bit more boozy. Good, but too strong to drink this again for what it offers.
