| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 16, 2005 This bottled brew poured a small sized head of foamy off-white colored mostly lasting fine to medium sized bubbles that left behind a transparent softly carbonated brown colored body and a fair lace. The aroma was mild with just a little malt and a hint of caramel malt. The mouth-feel was smooth and tingly with a mild caramel malt aftertaste and slight hop bite. The flavor was mild and smooth with a crisp caramel malty note to it. Yuhasz (23), USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Apr 4, 2005 This is a very neutral beer. Not too heavy, not too light. This Amber Lager was pretty good. jde123 (715), Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 11, 2005 Pours a medium copper color with small but noticeable head. Somewhat sour flavor and aroma, offset by a stunningly pleasant palate. Sweetly malted, nice... BBB63 (4267), La Porte, Indiana, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 18, 2004 Bottle: Medium amber hue with a slightly creamy and long lasting head and very good lace. The aroma has notes of caramel and toffee, wheat bread, floral hops, apple and pear, and light pepper. The taste starts with sweet malts at the forefront and a supporting fruity and twangy character. The finish is mildly astringent and just a hint of bitters and spice. The feel isn’t too bad for the style, even slightly sticky. While this isn’t a world class Vienna (and there are so few of those anyway), it is quite drinkable as a starter for the evening. SledgeJr (2966), Omaha, Nebraska, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 4, 2004 In the bottle. Rich amber color, possibly a little light for a marzen. Reasonable white head with decent lacing. Not much aroma. Flavor is sweet and malty with a slightly burnt caramel taste. Not a great beer, but drinkable. urbnhautebourg (974), Annapolis, Maryland, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Sep 27, 2004 Something of a letdown after trying their ESB. This just doesn’t have the malty niceness of the ESB, and perhaps it should not have to. Nevertheless, a rather light interpretation without any terribly interesting features and little sublety. Great Lakes’ Eliot Ness need not fear that its place as the Prince of Vienna will be usurped.
