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, 5.5%. Weak dusty aroma. Clear golden colour. Big stable white head. Grassy flavour, medium bitterness. A lot like any old macro lager, but less dry and with much better mouthfeel.

Bottle, 5.2%. OK malty, slightly citric aroma. Clear golden colour, small white head. The flavour has the usual good Austrian bread note, some malt. Low bitterness. Slightly thin finish, but not bad.

Draught at Zu den 3 goldenen Kugeln in Citypark, Graz.
Golden coloured, medium sized white head, lively carbonation. Very malty, hoppy and light bready with touch of grain and alcohol in the finish. Average and boring oktoberfestbier

Bottle from SPAR, Vienna. Cloudy, murky amber in colour with no head. Yeasty, fruity aroma with a touch of floral hop. Flavour started with some sweetish malt and a short, dry finish. Ok.

Pours gold into a shaker. White head recedes leaving looking sickly. Sweet malt aromas. Sweet biscuit and crisp from front to back.

Sehr milder Antrunk mit verschwindend geringer Getreidenote. Wässrig herb, Goldbier. Trinkbar, aber sehr langweilig. Zum Ende noch süßlich. Test vom 12.8.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,6,7,5,4,6 - 6,40

Bottle: Ruby-amber coloured, firm, creamy off-white head; distinctive aroma of dried fruits, backed by malt and molasses; sweet flavour, light bodied; mild sweet-fruity finish with a bit of salt in the aftertaste. A two-times diluted Doppelbock, still tasty......

Draught, Cactus Bar, Budapest. Standard golden lager looks. Some sweetness there in the aroma and flavour which made this a bit more palatable than I thought it would me. Wasn’t expecting too much, but its just about drinkable I suppose. Certainly in no way ’spezial’
