Berg könig Premium

Brewed by Privatbrauerei Fritz Egger
Style: Premium Lager
St. Poelten, Unterradlberg, Austria

Privatbrauerei Fritz Egger is a private brewery from Austria.

In 1868, the Egger family took over the long standing Gwercher Brewery which was founded way back in 1675.

The company sell large to retail companies, such as Aldi and Hofer for example, and roughly 25% of its beer is exported abroad, to mostly its central European neighbours, but also as far afield as China!

Review: 0,33L green bottle of Berg könig Premium: ABV: 5.0% vol (Some places it can be 5.2%)

Got it cheap in Aldi Suisse, in a pack of six, cheap beer, aka Premium beer!

On pour with some decent carbonation I get a golden yellow coloured beer with a head that after the initial excitement goes flat and goes shit. Overall its a beer that goes flat very quick and isn’t a looker at all. Flat look. Not as nice looking as first appeared. Little carbo. Flat head. Looks shit.

Smell is light, malty. Very slight on the nose, nearly odourless in fact! Smell is beery and fruity.

For the taste I got a bit of a hoppy aftertaste which was manageable, just about.

Ok enough not bad, little bit of an off taste, possibly corn.

Second bottle
Getting nice enough mouthfuls, some nice sweet malts. It’s not bad, I guess, drinkable, but I have had better, even if its a relatively cheap beer to purchase. Was difficult to taste the alcohol here.

Not much to taste. Very light overall. Not a whole lot to report, pretty bland and largely forgettable. Ah well……..
