Feb 20, 2009 The beer is amber in color with nice foamy head. Aroma is of bread with a touch of hops. Hops hit you right away (almost IPA like) and linger for a while. Sweet malt is muted compared to hops. Too hoppy for Vienna but great lager nevertheless.

Feb 20, 2009 I really enjoyed this. Fresh hop nose on a golden brown colour. Taste is long with hop and spice. Fantastic beer, very happy that I bought a 6 pack instead of a single.

Feb 19, 2009 One of beers of choice when I lived in Manhattan. Never made it to the brewery though. Red body with exploding head. Slightly hoppy nose. Lots of hops in the taste. Spicy. Smooth, and a great session beer.

Feb 13, 2009 Glass of the month at Winking Lizard. Clear red in color with a huge white head. Not much going on in the nose; lager yeast and a bit of hop. Flavor is outstanding for the style. A nice hop and malt balance that is way more pronounced than most lagers. Reminds me of a really well made ESB. Was not at all excited to see that this was the glass of the month, but it far exceeded my expectations. Kudos to Mr. Oliver and the Brooklyn folks for taking a humdrum style and turning into something interesting.

Feb 8, 2009 Light orange lager. Light aroma with hops. Dry over the palate but does not offend with the aftertaste. Interestingly smooth.

Feb 1, 2009 Not what I expected for a Vienna. Hops dominated the malt way too much for me to consider this a good Vienna.

Jan 27, 2009 When I’m in NYC this is my go-to beer when selection is limited. Amber in color, it’s more like a pale ale than a lager really, with a great floral hoppy aroma and flavor that you don’t usually see in this style. Smooth and crisp like a lager, however, with a sweet malty backbone. Hell of a session beer.

Jan 26, 2009 Appears quite dark for a lager with a good sized and active head of a reasonably creamy foam.
Creamy hop aromas, mildly fruity and sweet. Sweet in the mouth with some citrus fruits and honeyed malt then a lightly bittered finish. Very drinkable. A little bit fizzy for me but still excellent.
Very drinkable, which is aided by its very reasonable price. Interesting enough but not too much to think about when having a bit of a session.
