UPDATED: APR 28, 2024 Can. Pours rich gold. Grain, honey, nutty, peach skin, sage, little leathery. Medium body. Good.

UPDATED: DEC 29, 2023 16 ounce can - $4.25 at Woodstock Beer Market in Woodstock, Georgia. 120623. Appearance: Pours a clear, dark golden body with a medium-small, white head. Smell: Lightly toasted malt aroma housing a subtle cooked sugar sweetish quality. Very scant dry herbal hop hint. Taste: Lightly toasty malts anchored by a sustained, trenchant graininess. Minimal, brief sweetness akin to a flash of torched turbinado. A little dry herbal hop hint like a sip of black tea. Its minimal sweetness fades for a drying, grainy finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium carbonation. Overall: I could drink this all damn day long.

UPDATED: OCT 24, 2023 Honey nose. Clear amber, thin head. Honey, bread crust, grass. Medium body, moderate carbonation.

UPDATED: OCT 3, 2023 16 oz can from Justin, thanks Cosmo, 10/3/23. Unclear darker rusty golden color. Biscuit, dough, grains. Honey and herbal notes. Spice and earth hints as well. Giving off strong fall vibes for a non seasonal. Super drinkable. Tons of malty flavors. Really quality stuff.

UPDATED: AUG 13, 2023 On tap at The Tip Tap Room in Boston. Brassy gold pour. Small white head. Earthy, toasted malt aroma hints at spicy hops. Flavor mirrors nose. A hint of toasted bread and mild citrus. Smooth, complex and flavorful. Outstanding.

UPDATED: JUL 9, 2023 Appearance: Slightly cloudy, light amber. Frothy white head with great retention. Aroma: Malt forward. Bready and slight toast. Low floral hops. Flavor: Malt forward. Rich bready and slightly toasted malt. Spicy hops. Drying. Restrained bitterness. Soft and drying at the finish with mild, balancing bitterness into the finish. Mouth feel: Medium to Medium light body. Moderate carbonation. Overall: A brewery that knows how to make a classic, historical Vienna Lager. It's soft and elegant. Malt forward but dry with an appropriate, balancing bitterness. Bready and leans toasty in flavor. Zero caramel flavors. Spicy Saaz hops. Clean fermentation profile. Avoids the sweetness of most American versions. I've tried many VL, looking for a classic example. Most miss the mark. This one is dead on. Well crafted. Highly recommend if you like amber lagers or, especially, if you are looking for an authentic reproduction of the style.

UPDATED: JUN 15, 2023 Can (Mar 23, 2023 canning). Head is initially small, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is dark yellow. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain/bread, cookie), lightly hoppy (herbs). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. A bit underwhelming overall, but plenty solid...I do like the malt character, but there's not much else going on. Like other Schilling lagers I've tried, it's just too simplistic and restrained to be a real winner...there seems to be no magic or soul in their beers, just by-the-numbers workmanship. Which is not a bad thing, nor should that be misconstrued as a desire for 'innovation' in these styles, just more personality and attention to detail.

UPDATED: MAY 21, 2023 16 oz. can. Aroma has soft cracker with a note of toffee. Everything in the flavor is subtle. Toffee, bread-like malt, very soft herb in the finish. What’s great is the crisp, dry texture that’s extremely refreshing. Nice!

UPDATED: MAY 5, 2023 On tap at Roost during the event with Eggenberg. Clear burnt orange with a cap of white head. Bready nose, honey, dough, some marzipan. Flavors all follow. Just off dry finish.
