Fürstengold Hell

Tap to rate

Fürstengold Hell gleams golden in the glass. It smells delicately spicy, and the first sip is mildly sparkling. It comes from Brauerei Schwarzach in Schwarzach im Pongau, where beer has been brewed again since 2021 with water from the brewery's own spring, 100 % Austrian barley and hops from the Mühlviertel hop growers' cooperative. The brewery's tradition reaches back to 1843.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with subtle spice and floral notes characteristic of noble Edelhopfen from the Mühlviertel region. Beneath lies a soft, clean malt base with gentle biscuit undertones drawn from 100% Austrian barley. The bouquet remains delicate and balanced, free from aggressive aromatic compounds, suggesting careful brewing with the brewery's own spring water.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a light, refreshing sweetness that transitions into a mild, controlled bitterness. Austrian malt provides a clean, slightly grainy foundation without heaviness, allowing the hop character to emerge as gentle spice rather than assertive bite. The moderate carbonation enhances crispness without overwhelming the delicate flavor balance.
