Brewed by Gösser (Brau Union)
Style: Pale Lager
Leoben, Austria

Can pours golden with a thin white head. Fruity and somewhat sweet. Somewhat grainy.

Best before end 12.2005

Golden under a scummy film. Aroma of grass and toasted sourdough. Flavor is light hopped after mild grains and yeast. A very easy drinker/quencher, but nothing too special. A good "lawnmower beer" as mentioned earlier.

I assume this is the same beer that is labeled ’Pale’ in Australia. Quite rich orange in colour, maybe a hint of gold, with no head to speak of. Very subtle nose with a slight adjunct like character. Mildly flavoured palate and a industrial macro finish (ie bland / one dimensional).

Out of a bottle at Concordia Ale House. Doesn’t pour much of a head, but is a nice golden color, pale, but not to pale. Pretty, actually. Aroma is sweet malt. Very little hops, just enough to cut the sweetness and keep it in check. Flavor is straight-forward. Clean. That’s it. No hop presence. Not sweet. Not bitter. No off flavors, I’m sure they would shine through in this beer. Something tells me this beer would be excellent in the summer. I could easily keep a case of this in my fridge for the simple purpose of quenching my thirst after mowing the lawn. However, since it’s cold, I fell a little under-inspired right now. Don’t get me wrong, it taste great. I’m just a little cold, and was wanting a beer to cuddle and be comforatble with. Instead I was romanced by a stranger in a shiney green bottle. I’d definitely drink this again, but not tonight.

Clear blond, average-large and lasting white head. sweet hoppy aroma, flat taste smouth and light finish. Drinkable, but isn’t convincing.

Overall, same old world-wide lager that appeases the masses. Refreshing quencher. Not as bad as some, not as good as others. Slight alfalfa finish and a tinge of hop bitterness.

500 ml can. light golden colour. 1 cm head which diminished quickly. Not an unpleasant aroma or taste. It was a bit watered down. I would drink it again.

"Austria’s Finest Beer", according to the label. Hmmm... not according to our database. Or my tastebuds. Pale gold, 1cm head showing fair length. Quite a clean malt-driven aroma with faint lemony hops and a hint of fresh mint. Sweet and malty on the tongue, with a metallic finish that didn’t register immediately but became increasingly prominent. Quite bready. Reasonable body, moderate carbonation. Tastes like they use a decent malt but low-quality hops. (33cl bottle branded ’Gosser Beer’, Amatos, bb 12/05)
