Gösser Spezial / Special

Draught, Cactus Bar, Budapest. Standard golden lager looks. Some sweetness there in the aroma and flavour which made this a bit more palatable than I thought it would me. Wasn’t expecting too much, but its just about drinkable I suppose. Certainly in no way ’spezial’

0.5 l bottle from Spar in Semriach, as the last I brought from my New Year holidays there. Poured pale golden body with medium head (as almost all beers we had that night). Pretty nice aroma, some herbal hops with same honeyish maltiness. Flavor was not so nice, but still fine, sweetish with subdued bitterness. Oily on palate, pretty full bodied. Honey finish, maybe too sweet. It can’t be called "special", not bad, but still misses its originality and some more interesting character.

Bottle courtesy of and shared with heavy (thanks!)
Poured a light golden body with a medium sized thick white head. Honeyish nose, a touch herbal. Nice piney hopiness, light maltiness. A surprisingly pleasant pils, more than likely the best one today and yet I’m at a loss of words (and notes) for it. Ah, well. Gösser can do some nice stuff when they want to it seems.

This beer hasn’t got a big aroma. Nice pale yellow color, small head. The flavour is bitter with yeast and flowers. The aftertaste is thin. I’ve bought a beer wich was brewed in Hungary by Heineken Hungária Nyrt (Soproni Brewery). Good, drinkable beer without any surprise...
