Bottle. Strange fruity aroma. Almost clear amber colour. Small white head. The flavour is thin, has some yeast and quite some paper.

(33cl bottle) Pours an amber body with a medium beige head. Light aroma of mustiness, caramel, and earthiness. Flavor of earthy hops and caramel malt with a dry dusty finish.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours an almost clear amber golden with an off-white head. Fine if somewhat oxidized caramel aroma. Medium body with dry notes of caramel. Finishes dry. Has a somewhat unclean edge every now and then. 310109

Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Picked up at Maruhn Getränke in Darmstadt. Pours a nice amber color. Nice sweet malt nose with a hint of hops. Taste is caramel, with mild hops and a touch of fruit. Compared with the other Viennas I’ve sample, this one is on the lower end.

33cl bottle. It poured a dark orange colour with a medium big foamy head that settled down slowly in the glass. It has a spicy aroma that smells of citrus, cinnamon and malts. The aroma is slightly bitter and tastes of cinnamon, caramel and water. It has a short aftertaste.

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden deep orange to amber with a slowly collapsing tan head. Mild citrus fruity and spiced aroma. Flavour is fruity and solid spiced. Holds a spiced bite in the finish. Otherwise smooth and fruity flavour. Lingering spiced finish.

(Söderbärke 2007) Golden color, small head. No aroma, hardly no flavor.

Bottle. Bought in Hamburg. Pours a redish amber with a nice bubbly off-white head. Aroma has barn, musty tones and a little caramel. Flavour though, is nearly on-existent. Very watery. A slight touch of caramel, and quite sour metallic. Not good.
