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.

clear amber colour, moderate sized creamy head; aroma of fruityness, spicy notes and caramel malt; taste of malty sweetness with some fruity notes, cardboard and spices; correct vienna, though far from being a perfect beer

Bottled, thanks sebilinz! Hazy mahogany colour, rich firm head. Floral nose with notes of raisin. Dry with medium-full body and firm, soft mouthfeel. Elegant, non-sticky, firm malt. Some bread and notes of dates and grass. Mildly warming finish with low bitterness. Wonderful malty beer!

4 oz pour on cask at ChurchKey. Clear golden orange with off-white head. Aromas of stone fruit, tropical fruit, floral hops, light alcohol. Tastes of tropical fruit, stone fruit, citrus, hop oils, light alcohol and malt. Medium body with a dry finish. Probably my favorite of the three with the Aurora close behind.

This one is the most like a double IPA out of the three, has the most balance. Pours orange without much head or lacing. A little syrupy. Bittersweet finish. Citrus, mandarin indeed. Low carbonation. Cask at Churchkey.

Some bitterness and a lot of sweetness in this. Strange feel but pretty decent all around. Pours orange without much head or lacing. Low carbonation. Finishes bitter. Some citrus. Strong hops pretty well preserved. Cask at Churchkey.

Draft at Churchkey. Slightly hazy golden color. Nice floral stone fruit aroma. Taste is very fruity bitter but balanced pineapple and grapefruit. My favorite of the three.
