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 from a pumpkin farm store.
Golden, clear body, with a big, unstable, frothy, white head.
Aroma of pumpkin, bread, citrus, grass, flowers, honey.
Taste follows this, with some more spicy notes.
Light, slick mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation.
Finishes smooth, with bread, sweet malts, pumpkin, grass, some spices.
Good. A better lager beer, with well integrated pumpkin. Easy and fresh, but nothing special overall.

500 ml bottle from Bottle Shop, Salzburg.
Amber-orange, clear body, with a big, fluffy, moderately lacing, yellowish head.
Aroma of bread, caramel, sweet fruits, flowers, grass.
Tastes of caramel, bread, flowers, must, sweet fruits, grass, some fresh herbs.
Quite light, slick mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes moderately bitter, sweet, bready, floral, a bit grassy, slightly herbal.
Really nice. Pretty much how I like a Märzen, but rarely ever find, brewed in the traditional style and not as flat and characterless as many examples today. Full malt body, while easy drinkable. Not my very favourite Austrian style example (Augustiner in Salzburg is unbeatable), but among the best.

Bottle @ Øllets Dag, Kolding. Pours slightly hazy dark amber with airy light tan head. Clear aroma of malt, caramel and yeast, with some hoppy notes and hints of fruit. Sweetish flavour of caramel malt, with dusty and fruity notes and touches of hops. Estery and dusty aftertaste with subtle smoky notes. Decent.

0.33 bottle from Bottle Shop, Salzburg. Dark reddish brown, almost no head. Malts, sugar, dry fruits, cinnamon, raisins, fruit jam. Very sweet, cake like, alcohol well hidden. Full body, but drinkable for such a strong beer. Malty background. Considerable.
