Bottle, as "Schremser Wiener Lager". Rather clear amber color with huge soapy white head. Aroma is herbal hops, celery, grapefruits, pale malts. Taste is the same. Standard "modern" Lager for Austrian standards I guess. Ample carbonation. Ok.

Beautiful, slightly hazy copper and very bronze coloured body with a thick, three centimetre tall deep tan head - full of tints and very hazy throughout - absolutely beautiful in the glass. Aroma of pure bread, malt, yeast, honey, caster sugar, a bit of toast and way more bread. Light to Medium-bodied; Liquid bread flavours at first with a dose of honey, some lighter earthy and nutty malt flavours and a good deal of yeast and unfinished sugars with almost no other flavours. Aftertaste shows more of the bread ,a touch of malt and some specialty grains and little else, aside from honey and toast. Overall, a pretty poor beer, albeit one that looks great in the glass. I don’t expect too much from a lager ever (I believe this one should be categorised as a Vienna [easy enough] instead of an IPL, but that’s just me), but this is very simplistic, showing no depth and no real flavours, just the yeast and bread with some sugars. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Merkur Hoher Markt in Wien, Austria on 22-March-2016 for €1,09 sampled at home in Washington after just returning from Switzerland on 10-August-2017.

Dry rye on the tongue, the beer starts very dry with moderate grainy body. Intense dry, the rye is there in the foreground, moderate bitter. Interesting.

Klare gelbe Farbe mit kleiner, rasch verschwindender, weißer Schaumkrone. Süßlicher, malziger Geschmack mit zwar wahrnehmbarer, aber untergehender Hopfennote. Ähnliches geschmackliches BIld, vordergründig süßlich-malzig, körnig, leicht grasiger Hopfen, etwas Würze. Sehr leicht zu trinken ohne Highlights.

Spicy, yeast, bread, lightly fruity. Lightly sweet and bitter. Reminiscent of a classic "Jausenbrot" with bacon. Odd, but also pretty nice.

Im Sommer 2017 habe ich in einem Wiener Supermarkt das Schremser Bio naturtrüb gefunden und natürlich gleich mitgenommen. Es ist schön bernsteinfarben und hat eine dünne, aber feste Schaumkrone. Geschmacklich hatte ich mir ein Wiener Lager erwartet, aber es schmeckt trotz seiner Farbe wie ein helles Zwickel. Es ist gut vollmundig und nicht zu süß. Wie alle Schremser Biere rein biologisch und mit Waldviertler Getreide und Mühlviertler Hopfen gebraut.

330 ml bottle as part of the Culturbrauer Pils Bier Box, bb 31.10.17
Pale golden, moderate hazy body, with a big, frothy, lacing, off-white head.
Aroma of grains, grass, flowers, some hay, some bread, some apples, slight honey.
Tastes quite similar, with some more citrus and herbs and the hayish notes a bit more coming through.
Light, slick mouthfeel, with a fizy carbonation.
Finishes dry, moderate bitter, hoppy, floral, herbal, citric, a bit piney.

Nice one. Pretty light bodied, but with a refreshing dryness and enough hops. Well balanced, drinks easy, clean and crisp. Not an outstanding Pils maybe, but a really solid one I would drink again.
