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.

Very dark brown with a huge amount of massive chunks. Looks terrible. Aroma and flavour have bittersweet treacle. Lots of dried fruits. Burnt bitterness. Nice oily texture.

Sehr helle, klare Farbe. Interessanter Geruch: Fruchtig / blumig / hopfig aromatisch. Geschmacklich bekommt man ähnliches. Die hopfenbittere, florale Note kommt hier besser raus. Getreide ist ganz klar ein zusätzlicher wichtiger Faktor. Wirklich wohlschmeckend, könnte aber intensiver und gehaltvoller sein. Im Endteil wird es etwas dünn. Auch die gute Hopfung kann nicht verhehlen, dass das ganze insgesamt etwas zu süffig ist. Dass die Zutaten aus biologischem Anbau stammen, ist aber natürlich ein großer Pluspunkt.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours very slightly hazed yellow-gold with a creamy, white head. Lightly sweet flavour with lovely fresh, pale biscuit character, modest bitter grass and hay. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Clean finish, more fresh biscuits, bread, hay, comforting bitterness. Delicious. This one really grew on me.
