12oz. bottle. Hazy orange-amber with a small off-white head. Clean malt aroma with subdued caramel and slight nuttiness, also an herbal hop component. Ruddy caramel and vestiges of burnt nuts in an overall rather sweet malt profile. Vegetal, slightly spicy hop flavors assert themselves in the finish with some residual sweetness. Mouthfeel is medium, slightly sticky.

Bottle in my BMC drinker uncle’s fridge! Pours amber with white head. A good balanced of spicy, peppery hops against german malt profile. I pick up notes of herbal tea and citrus fruit. The finish is a bit aggressive, peppery and anstringent. I wish I knew how old this bottle was. This sample had no sweetness as other raters stated. I am not an expert on Viennas. To me, this one was just ok.

Bottled. Poured a medium caramel-amber with an inch or so of white head. Nose was of heavier grains, caramel, and fruity malts.. quite pleasant. Flavor was caramel malt-driven... a tad sticky, but never cloying. Sweet light fruits and a Marzen-like leafy hop profile. Smooth on the palate and lighter-bodied.. with a crisp finish. Very tasty, easy-drinkin’ brew.

Aroma was heavy grain and hop,taste on the other hand was a pleasant surprise ,sprite and fruity and sweet. Never would hav e guessed the flavor by the aroma. A little to sweet for a Vienna but pleasant enough for a second try

Golden color. Smell of fruit and malt. Tastes of malt, barley and what I call "The 3 amigo’s"(grapes, rasins and prunes). Nice and dry at the end

Dark orange pour, thin head. Malty aroma. Flavor dominated by sweet malts providing notes of caramel. Finishes bitter which is nicely balanced with the malts. Thin to medium body with moderate carbonation for a pleasant, crisp mouthfeel.

I bought this expecting a wheat beer; the bartenderlied to me. The bitterness, even though it took me quite by surprise, was balanced rather nicely with what malt it had. Enjoyable.

Pours a darkish orange/amber color. Aromas of roast malts/caramel, sweet smelling. Sweet flavors of caramel with some hops/fruit.
