Description
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.

Draft at Kneitinger Keller - January 2014. Pours clearish red-brown with a creamy, tan head. Ripe dark fruits in the aroma, along with toast and toffee. Medium sweet flavour with jammy dark fruits, berries, more toffee, dark bread. Medium bodied with fine carbonation and creamy texture. Sweet finish with continuing ripe, dark fruit character. Tasty.

Aug. ’15. A 0.5 l bottle that poured a dark reddish brown body with medium sized head, colored accordingly. Fine lightly roasted aroma. Nuts, cocoa, caramel, dark fruits. Lightly roasted, bittersweet flavor, too. Pleasant amount of coffee, caramel, nuts. Complex for the style. Medium body with longer dark malt finish with a weird soapy off note. Extremely well balanced and quite a pleasant dunkel.

Aug. ’15. A 0.5 l bottle shared with Marko. It poured a yellow body with a small head. Aroma was light, grainy dusty and lemony. Flavor definitely had some weird bitterness but it was overwhelmed with sweet eggy honey pale malt. Molasses note, we commented how alcoholic it seemed. Medium bodied with long, I wrote boring, finish. Weird and quite messy, didn’t like this one and I’m surprised to see some high ratings here.

330ml bottle [Thanks Maddie for this one!]. Clear, yellow-ish, pale golden colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, snow-white head. Mildly grainy and strawy, pale malty aroma, bitter hoppy overtones with cautious grassy-spicy touch. Taste is moderately bitter hoppy, minimally strawy, pale malty basis with subtle sweetness and minimally grainy touch, grassy hoppy spiciness. Well carried out, classic Pilsener.

330ml bottle [Thanks Maddie for the "Kneitinger Produktpalette"-lightweight!]. Crystal clear, faint amber colour with average to huge, thick, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Sweet-ish caramel malty and soggy grainy aroma, hints of silage and rabbit droppings, plain bitter hoppy overtones. Taste is slightly sweet caramel malty, diluted sweetness, hints of hay, a grainy touch, slightly grassy and moderately bitter hoppy overtones with a metallic touch. Unintelligible clear glass bottle packaging produces a "Becksizationing" effect for sure.

Between black and dark red. Dark fruit, caramel and citrussy hops. Also very sweet and surprisingly sour. Pretty much no bitterness. The main reason I didn’t like it is the combination of maltiness and sourness.

Looks like coke. Very malty, syrup, dark chocolate, roast, some slight alcohol. Overwhelming sweetness. Almost oily and very smooth. Overall good!
