Rastacouere (5551), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Oct 6, 2008 Objectively speaking:
Clean lager that does not venture much into experimental territory, but does a fair job at providing toasty vienna flavours.
I like:
Sweet and toasty malts are rapidly balanced by welcome leafy hops. Soft and gentle carbonation feels pillowy on the palate, though they cut any crispiness aspiration. obvious vienna character with toasty, grainy, sunflower seeds developments.
I dislike:
More hop character would be most welcome as the malts never venture beyond the call of duty. Aurelius (2643), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Sep 18, 2008 Medium light coppery blonde with an active, bubbling head which fades to a thin film. Light cologne-y malt aroma. Sweetish, slightly toasted. True to style, medium light bittering. Way drinkable. Medium light body. Finish is seedy/toasty and hangs on just a bit too long. decaturstevo (1971), decatur, Tennessee, USA Sep 17, 2008 Orange amber pour with off white head and foamy lace. Semi sweet malt flavor with a light bitter finish. Medium bodied with a hint of foaminess. Very good and refreshing. I think it had a hint of pepper. 1010 (206), Marysville, Ohio, USA Sep 3, 2008 Draft pint as a part of the MBA program. Has a sweet taste, but not much depth. BeerBaronLS (85), Grove City, Ohio, USA Dec 8, 2007 On tap at elevator. Decent example of the style. A little sweet, head was a little thin Darkover (1308), Columbus, Ohio, USA Oct 3, 2007 Amber brown color with a small beige head. Aroma and flavor of caramel malts. Pretty drinkable but unremarkable. Tmoney99 (4652), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Nov 1, 2006 Draft sample at brewpub. Poured copper color with an average fizzy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate toasted malt aroma. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. Medium balanced flavor with a medium sweet finish of short duration.
