tiggmtl (4179), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Dec 21, 2005 Bready malts are chewy with herbal, grassy hops apparent in the somewhat low, but pleasant aroma. Clear, deep, golden coloured body is topped by a decent and lasting cover of fine bubbled white head that leaves some lacing. Bready malt flavour with some mild fruity esters, lightly spicy, herbal, grassy hops and assertive balancing bitterness that lingers on the tongue. Medium light body with crisp carbonation. Sampled on tap at the brewpub with Oakes before Grey Cup 2005. Hooker (444), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada Dec 20, 2005 Clear amber colour with thick lasting white head. Slightly antiseptic nose. Mild malt taste with slight hop finish. Crit (2242), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada Nov 3, 2005 Amber,lasting white head.Neutral nose lightly medicinal.Light malt, light hops. Lacking body, not much here Oakes (6966), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Oct 17, 2005 Bright copper colour with a finger of foam. Firm, fresh malty-toasty aroma. Very clean, with a complex and even-handed malt character. Seems pretty close to the textbook, a good thing for a Vienna. JoeMcPhee (3807), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Oct 8, 2005 Clear amber beer, with a thick, fluffy off-white head. Clean malty aroma, a touch of orange. Flavour is of light caramel malt and a decent spicy hop flavour as well. A bit of citrus on the finish. Some dustiness that isn’t appropriate, but it’s still a fairly drinkable beer.
