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.

Bottle from AmmersinO, Vienna. Orange, moderate hazy body, with a big, frothy, white head. Aroma of yeast, wheat, must, earth, grains, banana, orange, citrus, spices. Taste with the same aromas, earthy, spicy, sour, bitter and sweet. Mouthfeel is medium, slick, with a lively carbonation and it finishes sour-fruity, earthy, spicy and slightly bitter. Very good! Fully aromatic, with lots of different aromas in a good balance, complex and still quaffable. Interesting beer.

On draught at 101 Beer Kitchen (as Sour Cask Aged Barley Wine). Pours a muddy brownish-amber color with a thing light beige head that disappears quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel, malt and tart fruit. Medium-bodied with flavors of roasted malt, caramel and mildly sour fruit. The finish is slightly tart with an earthy hops and malt aftertaste. Decent overall.
