Commercial Description:
This beer is an American interpretation of the old Vienna-style lager. Exported from Europe to the U.S. and Mexico in the 1870s, this style had nearly died out by the end of Prohibition. Our version is medium-bodied, with a soft malt flavor balance by spicy hops, an herbal aroma and a slight citrus flavor.

Rich, enjoyable lager in the Vienna style. Deep reddish color, rich frothy, long lasting head. Nice aroma of hops and biscuits. Malty flavor with lots of hidden flavor notes appearing at different points as you go from start to finish in the glass. If only every U.S. brewer made a lager like this one. Very enjoyable.

A very smooth beer. Rather dark in appearance with a light head. Very enjoyable.

Excellent beer, malty and clean taste that leaves you quite refreshed as you should be with a lager. Decent hops and hearty flavor.

Dull amber. Scant, off white head. Slow, big bubbled carbonation. Caramel and light toasted malt aroma with flakes of spicy hops. Crisp yet firmly malted with caramel notes, toasty husks and a touch of cocoa. Spicy hop balance. Medium body. Quite full for a lager, though crisply finishing. Ends with a toasted caramel, spicy hop mixture and clean water finish. Not quite a Vienna but a good amber lager.

This is a very neutral beer. Not too heavy, not too light. This Amber Lager was pretty good.

Bottle-Pours a nice reddish amber color w/a big, foamy, off white head. Roasted, nutty, hopped aroma. Sweet, malty taste, Long, spicy, fruity, craemy finish w/some carbination. Medium boby. Very enjoyable.
