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.

500 ml bottle from a supermarket in Linz.
Golden, clear body, with a big, frothy, white head.
Aroma of grass, citrus, flowers, some minty notes, bread, honey.
Tastes of grass, flowers, citrus, fresh herbs, sweet bread, some honey.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with an average carbonation.
Finishes moderate bitter, grassy, floral, a bit herbal, a bit sweet.

Good. Fresh and easy, with nice floral and citric notes. Nothing special overall, but a clean and well balanced lager, without any of the unpleasant notes prominent in many lagers.
