Salzburger Stiegl Gold: An Amateurish Beer Review

Seigl claims a history nearly 530 years old, with that anniversary approaching around the time this post pays out next week. This seems auspicious.

And the tab breaking off suddenly quells that sense of impending fortune. Maybe that's what soured me from the start? At any rate, after applying some brute force to access the nectar within, I found it underwhelming.

I hope this isn't another example of an unrefined palate disregarding a hidden gem, but I was unimpressed. I've had beers from Germany and Austria before, so I found the hops and malt profile unsurprisingly European in contrast to the usual American micro- and macro-brew styles. I just don't think it's a particularly good example.

Don't misunderstand, I don't think it's a bad beer either, but it doesn't live up to the mystical aura of Product of Austria emblazoned on the can.

What is it? 5% ABV, and generally a mild lager profile all around. It is not especially bitter, with a slightly floral hops profile instead of PINE AND CITRUS TO THE MAX of most microbrews these days or the watery nothing of the big brands.

I don't hate it. I just don't see any good reason to give it another go when so many other options are available.

Oof for a mediocre drink.

!BEER

Hey man beer is beer.

True, !BEER is beer, but this is like Glock. Austrian efficiency without any real flair to make it good.

I have to say that Glock is really not that bad after not being a fan for a long time. They aren't that bad....

Not bad. Reliable. Effective. Accurate. But not great. The trigger and grip angle just aren't for me.

Get the aftermarket frame.... Changes everything. Same parts just different angle and complete difference.

After the change? I'd rather lose the cheap Glock over losing an expensive 1911 again...

Watch out for the human traffickers at hivefest. You wont know it until its too late. STAY AWAY! Beware, traffickers can be women or men! They will act nice until they dont. There is human trafficking going on around this type of crypto. I have witnessed it. They literally have attempted my murder and are trying to kill me with V2K and RNM. Five years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem if you run into one of them you may want to immediately shoot them in the face. 187, annihilate, asphyxiate, assassinate, behead, bleed, bludgeon, boil, bomb, bone, burn, bury, butcher, cap, casket, choke, chop, club, crucify, crush, curb, decapitate, decimate, deflesh, demolish, destroy, devein, disembowel, dismember, drown, electrocute, eliminate, end, euthanize, eviscerate, execute, explode, exterminate, extinguish, finish, fry, grind, guillotine, gut, hack, hang, hit, ice, implode, incinerate, kill, liquidate, lynch, massacre, maul, microwave, mutilate, neutralize, obliterate, off, pop, poison, punnish, quarter, ruin, shank, shock, shoot, shred, skin, slay, slaughter, smoke, smother, snipe, snuff, squish, stab, strangle, stone, suffocate, suicide, SWAT, swing, terminate, torture, terrorize, whack, waste, wreck.

After 530 years, I'm not surprised the pull tab failed. Beer was probably stale at this point, too, which made it underwhelming.

PINE AND CITRUS TO THE MAX of most microbrews these days

LOL! I don't drink beer but I smell this from a mile away all the time. Well, at least from a few feet away.

Darn those shoddy Renaissance-era aluminum alloys, right?

Ha! Yes. Darn them.
