For this review, I thought I would try a beer that's new to me. Stiegal comes from Salzburg Austria, and is brewed from a receipt believed to date back to the 1400's. Traditional brewing techniques in this area are to use only Barley, Hops and Mountain spring waters which gives the beer (or bier) a nice, lighter and fresh taste.

Personally, I find the taste of this beer to be very mild, smiler to a few of the more popular lagers. There is mild to no aftertaste, which would make this beer appealing to those (like my darling wife) who shy away from most beers due to said aftertaste. It's subtle, but there is almost a fruity undertone but it's is very mild. You know those pictures where you relax your eyes and see a 3D image? Well, relax your taste buds and you may taste an orange.

If you are looking for a light summer beer to go with your BBQ, this would be a great beer to treat your guests to. It's light, it's refreshing, and it's tasty.
