bluevegie (2169), Perth, Australia Dec 28, 2005 Slightly hazy burnt amber body with an off-white head. Fairly good head retention. Grainy aroma along with a faint whiff of caramel that becomes more noticeable later in the drink. Fairly smooth straight-forward taste that is not complex. Soft pepper, milky creamy texture, soft carbonation and some dried fruit. Expected a bit more bitterness and/or roasted flavours. As a Vienna I really like this, as a Dark Lager it lacks a bit. saxo (3511), Højbjerg, Aarhus, Denmark Dec 25, 2005 Hazy copper with a thick, off-white head. Aromas of caramel, pralines, pear and apple. Tastes of caramel and pecans followed by white pepper and some hop bitteness. Thick mouthfeel with lots of sweet malt Hunsell (400), Amsterdam, Netherlands Nov 16, 2005 Hmm, my second Vienna. Dark amber colured beer, small off-white head. Very malty, sweet caramel aroma. Sweet, malty taste, some walnut too, falls flat, but then, a lingering mild)hopbitterness comes. Not very complex, or strong as the Blond, but nonetheless a nice beer. xproudfoot (729), Paleolithic, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 14, 2005 Pleasant, somewhat unsophisticated flavor. Nice body. Tastes like a malty lager, it’s got a good clean flavor without the unpleasant aftertaste of many lagers. Lunkie (1020), Glen Iris, Australia Nov 7, 2005 Malt hop aroma. Clear red amber colour with fair head and lacing. Maly hop flavour. Fizzy palate. MoritzF (4856), Bochum, Germany Oct 14, 2005 (bottle) Cloudy amber colour with a big & firm fluffy tanned head. Medium sweet toasted malts aroma. Sweetbitter flavour, medium body, almost crispy mouthfeel. Moderate sweet and nutty toastmalty taste, dry and slightly bitterhoppy lingering finish. A quaffable Vienna. leaparsons (4659), Leicester, Leicestershire, England Oct 10, 2005 Bottle. Brown, pink and red in colour. Aromas are sweet, smooth chocolate with a contrasting but complementary fruity sourness. Flavours are earthy and fruity, especially berries with a malty, sweet base. Dry on the finish. Quite addictive. Choos (504), Taylors Hill, Australia Oct 2, 2005 Aroma: malty and sweet with some fruit and jelly crystal notes. Appearance: reddy brown with some haziness, small white head and some lacing. Flavour: some sour fruit, sweet malt and a little easter egg chocolate. Palate: medium mouthfeel and lingering mild bitterness.
