Austrians answer to watery tasting american beer. Golden colored pour with small sized white head which collapses rather fast. Weak malty aroma with a sweet malty finish. Very thin-bodied and watery with some sweet malt and a rather crude bitterness in the finish. Drinkable, but there are better ones out there.

Pours a pale gold with a finger of head that slowly settles, minimal visible carbonation
Smells pretty one dimensional....malt. Very little hop presence.
Fairly neutral taste. Malt isn’t overpowering, just a hint of hops, mostly for the bittering aspect.
Below average level of carbonation. Fairly dry.
Middle of the road euro lager.

Brau Union Österreich AG "Schwechater Bier"
,5l can for ,99€ at a Turmöl Tankstelle in Salzburg, AT
"Mindestens Haltbar Bis Ende: 05.2018..." and sampled in 09.2017
Look: Clear golden body beneath a short head of bright white that drops shortly and leaves only minor lacing behind.
Smell: Limited aroma of golden malt with only the suggestion of some 'generic' hops.
Taste: The golden malt isn't distinctly grainy, nor do any hop flavors really show up. It's light in flavor but balanced, with a moderate bitterness that's enough to dry it in the finish.
Feel: Light-medium in body and lightly crisp and then smooth.
Overall: A basic Euro lager that falls on the less bitter and hoppy side without becoming sweet, or even sweetish, and maintaining a nice balance. In the end, however, it lacks the character needed for it to become a "more than one" beer.

Though it is an Euro Pale Lager, the positive thing about it is that it feels a bit cleaner, you don't really feel any corn, the sick yeast or the skunk hops in it. It is not overcarbonated either. Better than the average sh*t lagers that you can buy, still you wouldn't want to go looking for one either...
