I love that Brooklyn’s flagship lager is a Vienna and not a pilsner. The aroma on this is fantastic, floral with citrus fruit and fresh breadiness. Nice extra hop bitterness for the style makes it a vienna standout. I taste caramel with a strong, lingering bitter finish. The head is still strong half way through drinking it. ewestern (198), Ohio, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Aug 25, 2008 Pour was golden with a white head. Citrus aroma and flavor. Some carbonation came through, I was not impressed by this at all. Found the beer to be little better than most macro brews. bhensonb (4387), Woodland, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 22, 2008 Bottle from Vintage Cellar. Medium dark amber color with a large frothy beige head. Aromas of malt and lightly spicey hop. Near medium body with near creamy carbonation. Flavor is light caramel, and a touch of citrus sour - which might be the hop. It doesn’t finish all that bitter, but it is well balanced. It’s a very tasty drink. 41cubs (149), , New Jersey, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/20 | Aug 19, 2008 Pours light copper with frothy, here and then gone, just off white head. Smells like whole grains in the husk and taste very much like milled grains with a sugary tinge, reminds me of horse feed . Very raw flavors give way to a pleasing and full mouthfeel for the style. Lingering foul, stale aftertaste takes this rating down a bit. Pretty good though. LilBeerDoctor (1545), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 19, 2008 On tap. Pours a brown/orange, small head. Lots of piney hops, sweet malt. This is a very smooth drinking beer and one of the best lighter lagers that I’ve had. dolemite77 (184), Maryville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 18, 2008 Pours a clear burnt orange, with a rocky tan head. Aroma smells stronger of hops than most lagers, and the flavor matches it. This beer has much more going for it than I thought. The crisp malt on the back end of this is about all I can pick out that I would qualify as a lager. The flavor is rich and hoppy. The presence of the hops almost push this into more of a pale ale flavor profile. BeerViking (210), Brentford, Greater London, England
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 16, 2008 Bottled import. Pours red-amber with a big but short-lived head. The nose is malt with hints of fruit candy; then as it loses its chill, a floral scent emerges. Full bodied for a lager, with a very nice balance of malt and bitter, and a crisp aromatic and bitter aftertaste.
