Why it's worth it

The flagship of Salzburg's Stiegl, Austria's largest private brewery (founded 1492), sitting stylistically between a German Helles and an Austrian Maerzen. Reviewers say it tastes how lager should taste, making it the obvious Austrian beer to try. For adult travelers.

Taste

Malt-forward pale lager (5.0% ABV) with bready, toasty grain, a touch of stone-fruit sweetness and a clean, moderately bitter noble-hop finish
