Pour was copper to orange and clear with small off white head with a nose off caramel and malts taste is the same with a smooth hops and a sweet slightly bitterness to the finish not my favorite vienna from capital the wisconsin amber is much smoother and flavorful brew this one is higher in alcohol which does nothing for it but still not a bad beer

Shared by MrFacto at Pre-Sex - thanks, Matt! Deep russet color on the pour, with a nice creamy head. Soft toasted caramel in the nose, along with a bit of bitter hops. Maybe a faint touch of wood in the taste. A nice balanced beer.

Clear, golden amber with a medium-sized off-white head that is slowly but mostly diminishing. Moderate hop nose - spruce resin, some tangerine - with light cookie malts and a little black pepper. Mild-to-moderately bitter, mildly sweet flavor, light pine notes and chewey malts (caramel) and a bit of stale cardboard. Finish is slightly sour, moderately bitter and a touch medicinal. Inoffensive, bordering on tasty.

This is the best vienna ive had. Nice balance of the malts and the hops resulting in a refreshingly smooth beer. Nice option for a slightly warm and sessionable vienna

Pours a clear amber, moderate white head that fades to a ring. Aroma of malt and grain husks. Flavor is very husky and biscuity on the first sip, but this mellows. Still very earthy and dusty, with a bit of nutmeg. Grassy, just tending slightly towards the metallic. Coarse mouthfeel, dusty finish.

Bottle: Pour is medium clear golden. Aroma is of malt, corn, caramel, and a hing ot nutmeg. Beer is well blended with medium malty flavors in the beginning moving towards a spicy finish with nutmeg and some other earthy spices. Very well blended and medium to full bodied.

Clear amber with good, foamy off-white head / Minimal nose of corn syrup / Medium body, sweet, with some syrupy malts, with decent finish / Flavors of corn syrup and artificial caramel / Below average.
