Beer #46 - Salzburger Stiegl

Salzburger Stiegl
www.stiegl.at

Stiegl's been being brewed in Salzburg, Austria since 1492.   It is Austria's largest brewer.

It has a beautiful clear pale golden colour with a great big white foamy head, with great retention, it clings to the side of the glass creating a nice lace.

It smells of apples, citrus, malt and a little floral note.

The floral note comes to the forefront along with the maltiness.  The fruit notes come in as the bitterness from the hops also comes in.  It finishes nice and clean with a light lingering of the apple and bitterness.

It's a nice light yet distinctive and flavourful lager and prefect for summer and a nice day out on the patio.  It's flavour profile is quite different from most of the other lagers from the region and definitely worth a try.
