Strong malt, some hops, with bit mineral taste/feel. Good but I on’t buy it again. On a couple sips I’d get a hint of nut and then I taste again and it wouldn’t be there.

Coppery amber color with a decent sized foamy head that faded quickly. Big caramel malt aroma with a little nutty background. Flavors of roasted malt and nuts with a bit of spicy, peppery hops finishing it off. Nice medium body with a good bit of carbonation Didn’t pick up much of the sweetness from other reviews but it was very tasty, easy drinking and satisfying.

Pours a medium clear amber with a small quickly fading head. It is a very clean taste. But nothing about it stands out as special. It does have a decent malt aroma and flavor. Faint hops.

Amber with a quickly disappearing white head. Rich malt aroma. Flavor is sweet malt, fruit and caramel. Spicy hop finish provides some very nice balance. Very solid and enjoyable.

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
