7 Stern India Pale Ale

(Bottled) Cardboardy aroma with some IPA-note, fruits with strong German hops, fine balanced aroma. Medium bodied. Flavor starts with strong hops and flowery caramel, mild caramel also here. Aftertaste dries even more with some flowers and hops still. Well, good one, not too complex. Still expected more from 2. highest rated beer in Austria.

Had some of this on tap in Vienna at the 7 Stern Brau House and then decided to buy a 500mL bottle to take home too. Although the bottle travelled from Vienna to Prague and back to Dublin, I was very impressed with the overall quality of this beer. The pour was nice to a two-finger head and was a golden copper color and smelled great. Plenty of hops, but not too much, with a great taste that went well with a cheeseburger. I could definitely have another, but I dont think that I could drink this all night long as that could lead to a nasty night (and morning.) Needless to say, I will plan on picking some up again the next time I am in Vienna.

on tap at the brewpub. copper with a steady head. very american character - big grapefruity aroma with pine forest and dried apple. quite full-bodied - i would have guessed this at around the 6%abv mark. rasping fruitiness, some wrigleys juicy fruit sweetness and grapefruit. excellent stuff. and it’s only the second best ipa in vienna

A very pale beer with a superb aroma - like putting your head into a ripe lemon! Intense citrus and hop nose, massive cascade hop flavour of lemon jelly and mandarins. A huge bitterness, but not so huge as to mask the hop flavour, rounds off this tasty and refreshing beer. A classic. (sampled on draught in brewpub)
