Description
It all started in 1842 when Franz Schnaitl decided not only to rebuild the inn, which had been destroyed in a fire, but also to found a brewery. 175 years later Matthias Schnaitl IV is managing director and is aware of the living tradition of his family history: “We - our family and our brewery - are firmly rooted in our region.
Purely Austrian barley malt, Mühlviertel aroma hops and crystal-clear water from our own deep well are brewed to the beers Original, Pils de luxe, Florian - Spezial, Festbock and the dark. Since beer needs enough time, it is given to him in the Schnaitl brewery: one week of main fermentation in the fermentation cellar and another five weeks in the storage cellar before it is gently filtered and bottled or vatted. The carefully selected ingredients from the region, tried-and-tested recipes and decades of experience in processing ensure that the beers have a fine, unobtrusive mildness. The motto here is "Quality instead of quantity".

bottle at home. orange, rather hazy color. medium big off-white head. strong smell of banana, spices, other exotic fruits, some peach, pines. wow, very nice smell, the combination of banana and pines is great, the longer i put my nose in the glass the better the smell gets. medium body, medium carbonation, light bubbly / light oily / light scratchy mouthfeel. taste of banana, peach, some spices, some sweetness, some bitterness, pines & grass, a bit like marzipan, lightly citric, some astringency, lightly alcoholic. light bitter-sweet / fruity finish. quite decent, liked the smell very much, taste is good too, but its a bit too bitter-sweet for me, which is usually not my thing. quite interesting combination something between a heller bock and a weizenbock.

330 ml bottle from Ammersin 5, Vienna.
Golden, clear body, with a big, creamy, a bit lacing, white head.
Really interesting, smooth aroma of dried fruits, honey, bread, funk, grass, fruity hops, spices.
Tastes of honey, bread, fruity and zesty hops, grass, some alcohol.
Medium, creamy mouthfeel, with a soft carbonation.
Finishes bitter, dry, astringent, a bit alcohol warming, zesty, sweet malty, even subtle pine notes.
Tasty, unique Bock! The nose is really lovely and far beyond most beers from this style I’ve had. Taste is also nice, quaffable, but not as great as the nose, more common for this style. Overall another great Bock from Schnaitl.

Bottle [from Euro Swap 7 thanks to Sebilinz] @ weekly tasting shared with Dutchdrebus and Niels. Clear amber color, average sized off-white head. Aroma is lightly malts, weird, not that nice, a bit sweaty and farty. Taste malts, slightly leaves, slightly sweet, but also a bit bitter. Decent body and carbonation.
