Stiegl Pils

Brewed by Stiegl
Style: Classic German Pilsener
Salzburg, Austria

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

UPDATED: JAN 18, 2009 My Bottom Line:
Crisp cereals and distant wooden hops cannot help but feel diluted in this fizzy and rather generic Pilsener for the masses.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A nice head of foam garnishes the clear golden.
-A little hop bitterness is felt.
-The aroma is quite shallow.
-All in all, this remains very drinkable if not boring. The sliced white bread of the beer world.

On tap at a restaurant in Salzburg.

Has a noticeable, crisp bitterness to it that seems to set it apart a bit from other national lagers. Sparkling, refreshing. Other than that you pretty much know what to expect.

Pours orange with a medium head. Aroma is sweet malt and grassy notes. Malty and grassy flavour. Light bodied with a mild bitter after taste.

On tap at St. Veronus. As expected, cheap swill. As the new replacement for Stella, I did not expect a world of wonders, but it should satisfy the light lager fans. Think Stella, a bit more complex, slightly sweeter, and there you are.

33 cL bottle, courtesy of the floormanager at West Brewing. Pours clear and golden yellow with a huge white head. Crisp malty and hopy bitter aroma with a light grassy note. Bitter and grassy base flavour with a distinct malty note and solid bitterness. Dry and bitter finish.

por supuesto que a mis 18 aNos esto es lo mas comun que tomabamos en Austria para CISV, como lo pude olvidar. muchas birrias que contar

All round pretty ordinary with a flat head, cheap yellow look and low carbonation. Quite sweet and corny with a bit of pils suggested.

20cl taster, tap, Stiegl Brewery pub. Stiegl Brewery’s ’Beer of the Month’, not as good as the others on offer. A good beer nonetheless, drinkable and refreshing. A good pils.
