Description
The tradition of brewing beer in the abbey buildings of the nunnery Göss was revived when in 1860 the brewer and entrepreneur Max Kober acquired parts of the monastery and reactivated the brewery. This important year for Gösser is still noted on the labels today. With the founding of an AG in 1893, Max Kober laid the foundation stone for the development into one of the most important breweries in Austria.
In 1977 Gösser joined the Steirerbrau group, which merged into rivalling Brau-Beteiligungs-AG (BBAG) in 1991. From 1993 both companies operated under Brau Union Austria. In 2003, Gösser with Brau Union was taken over by Heineken.

Bottle (Dank am Bregenzer See!): Pale golden to golden, clear, small persistent white foamy layer, “neutral” sweetish grainy nose with molecular mineralic and bitter traces; mild or even milder sweetish-bitter flavour, mild MF, light bodied or watery; short sweet-bitter grainy finish. Well, this is the Mild One…

Huge thanks to quack-duck for that one! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass with a nice small head. Starts mild but not washy. Some hoppy-metallical notes, mild bitterness. Shy fruity touch. Finish a bit boring malty. Okay.
