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 from Billa Plus Wien-Hütteldorf. Pale yellow with a tall white head. Malty flavours in the foreground with some shy hoppy hints in the finish. Simple but quite ok.

Optisch klar und goldgelb mit schöner feiner bis mittlegrober Perlage. Die weiße, feinporige Schaumkrone zeigt sich sehr flaumig, stabil und ganz gut haltbar. Der Duft wirkt zart malzig und leicht fruchtig bis säuerlich-hefig. Sehr frisch, kräftig spritzig, zartmalzig, leicht säuerlich und deutlich herb im Antrunk. Am Gaumen überstrahlt eine kräftige Rezenz das Geschehen. Aromatisch findet sich eine malzige Basis mit zarter Würze, zarter Säure und moderater Herbe wieder. Relativ unspektakulär und überschaubar, aber durchaus okay. Mundgefühl und Süffigkeit sind dabei als mäßig zu beurteilen. Im Nachtrunk baut die Rezenz rasch ab und die malzige Note wirkt mit der zarten Säure ein wenig nach. Bald stellt sich jedoch eine trockene Hopfenaromatik ein. Fazit: Ein unspektakuläres und bestelfalls mittelmäßiges Massenprodukt - sehr typisch für österreichische Märzen.

clear golden colour, one inch of creamy white head, which disappears quite quickly;aroma of grainy-bready and some herbal notes; taste is dominated by bready-malty notes; not really bad, though has nothing really notable
