Description
The Brauhaus Gusswerk is an innovative symbiosis of a beer bar and a brewery, a place for enjoyment, communication and cosiness. The initiator of this unique project is Salzburg's Reinhold Barta, passionate brewer. After more than ten years of organic brewing experience he realized his organic brewery in Salzburg's “Gusswerk” in 2007. Reinhold Barta's goal is to make sustainable and biodynamic beer in Austria socially acceptable. When he saw the plans of the "Gusswerk", he immediately knew: "This is where my brewery belongs." The beer should be drawn from the strength of its origin, of course with purely organic ingredients and old, natural manufacturing processes that reflect the circle of nature.

(bottle, 33cl) Slightly hazy, pale golden colour with a slightly cream-coloured mid-sized foamy head. Doughy and slightly yeasty malt aroma with white bread, honey as well as spicy and grassy hops in the background. Mildly bitter and slightly sweet flavour, a bit light bodied with a modest carbonation. Pale malty base with shy hints of biscuits and honey, but also a present hops character; slim and bitter-sweet finish with doughy and grassy notes. Likeable. 25.V.12

330ml bottle. Dark brown with average creamy moderately lacing tan head. Dark malt aroma with intermixed green corn, a touch of roast, a hint of bitter hop. Taste is initially neutral, soft, scratches metallic notes; dark malty and roasty notes come in later, also liquorice in nearly undetectable concentreation. A Stout with a range of typical flavours which sadly remain in an outspoken, foreshadowing status - too cautious, humble, honest, decent. More power, please!

3rd Wiener Bierfest, Vienna, Austria. Sampled by Kis Salétrom and Szebeni Ászok. SZÁ: Triple bock. Először azt hittem mézes lesz, mert honey betty-nek olvastam, de aztán inkább csak ídes lett. Csak az alkohol, csak az alkohol, ejnye, túlságosan one-dimensional ez. Mintha csak Belgiumban kalandoznék. KS: A cseresznyésen sűrű Trappist Rochefort azért néha felsejlik, ennek ellenére azt mondanám: Det er kedeligt.

330ml bottle. Hazy orangey golden colour with average firm creamy lacing white head. Wheaty and fruity aroma, banana and apple, yeasty background. Fruity taste, apple, minimal citrus note, low carbonation, very decent finish. Tasty, fruity, a bit flabby.

Bottled 330ml. -from Jodl Graz. Brown coloured, small beige head, strong dried fruits and mild alcohol in the nose. Moderate malty, dried fruits and caramel with warming alcohol in the finish. Good beer but expected maybe better or just more complex brew. Goes well with dark chocolate.

330ml bottle. Cloudy deep golden to amber colour with small collapsing white head. Decent malty aroma with an almost undetectable touch of fruit and hay. Soft palate, taste is sweet malty, like fruit mush but without any strength. Kind of insipid.
