About
The first documented existence of a brewery on the location of today's Kneitinger at Arnulfsplatz was recorded more than 400 years ago. After many changes of ownership, in 1861 Johann Kneitinger I came into the possession of the brewery via marriage, together with the already existing Sommerkeller at Galgenberg. The skilled master brewer was the first to develop our strong Bockbier, with great success. After his death, his son Johann Kneitinger II refined the beer recipes even more. He also opened the restaurant at Arnulfsplatz, today known as the "mother house". Then, in the third generation, Johann Kneitinger III continued to manage the traditional company together with his wife Sofie. He died in 1975, and Sofie was his sole heir. While she was still living, she founded the "Hans und Sofie Kneitinger-Stiftung" in 1985. She died in 1991 and since then, the foundation has been the owner and operator of the Johann Kneitinger Brewery.

Red chestnut colouring, creamy brown head. Roasted, caramelized and hopfresh aroma. Slightly roasted and nutty favors, fresh, but somewhat one-dimensional. Medium to light body, lacking exit - ever so slight caramel and nut aftertaste.

Golden fluffy white headd. Flowery perfumed hop aroma. Sweet candyish yet quite lightbodied malt body overlaid with aromatic hops. Too little substance.

Dark chestnut, low brown head. Caramel, subtle chocolate notes, nice hop aroma. Caramel and chocolate base, nuts and marzipan, good underlying hop profile - ligther than I expected. Sugary aftertaste, oily mouthfeel.

Im Mittelteil ist dieses Bier recht herb, für meine Geschmack etwas zu herb. Der Nachgeschmack hält nicht allzulang an, fällt aber nciht rapide ab, wodurch das ganze noch in Ordnung geht. Insgesamt ein normales Bockbier ohne große Besonderheiten. Geht in Ordnung, das wars dann auch. Test vom 2.4.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 7,9,8,10,9,9 - 8,80

Dieser "Bier" erinnert mich sehr stark an Wasser, sieht dafür aber eher aus wie Pisse. Im Mittelteil wird es für eine kurze Zeit ein wenig hopfig, im Nachgeschmack dagegen schmeckt man wiederum kaum etwas. Absolut ungelungen, dieses Bier. Man sollte das Bier umbenennen von Edel-Pils in Diät-Pils, das würde den Geschmack besser beschreiben und man wüsste, worauf man sich einlässt. Test vom 2.4.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 4,8,8,5,6,7 - 6,65

Im Vergleich zum Bockbier der selben Brauerei fällt auf, das es ein wenig wässriger und eindeutig sehr viel weniger herb ist. Es kommt ziemlich mild daher und hat, ebenso wie das Bockbier, keine besonderen Höhepunkte. Höchstens im Nachgeschmack weicht die milde etwas. Naja, kein richtiger Bringer das Bier. Test vom 2.4.2005, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,9,11,7,8,8 - 8,65

Dark flat beer but typically dunkel. Very light airy aroma, and watery flavour but with slight hints of fruityness. A plain beer but fresh tasting.
