Wieselburger Gold

Tap to rate

Wieselburger Gold is a stronger pale lager in the Austrian Spezialbier tradition. Brewed to a higher original gravity than the house standard, it pours a bright deep gold under a firm, fine head. The nose brings soft malt, a hint of biscuit and a gentle floral hop; the palate is rounded and fuller than the standard lager, with malty sweetness, a light honey note and a moderate, balanced hop bitterness, and the finish is clean and lingering.
