Fauerbach Amber Lager

Fauerbach Brewing Company
Brewed at Grays Brewing Company
Style: Vienna
Madison, Wisconsin USA

Pours a transparent copper amber with a thin-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet caramel and butterscotch. Body starts fizzy and slightly grainy and sweet with some mild toasted notes before a slightly citric finish. Needs some more balance and authenticity.

*did not like would not buy* aroma: smells of strange stew. app: fine nothing magic. flavor: water some slightly warm sweet lil malts and finishes with an almost sour bitter hop finish. its not bad... i just think i would have prefered the flavor train to stop at water. palate: fine.. bit thick and coating in the back of the mouth. OA: eh.

Pours deep amber with a slight head and slight lacing. Smells of malts and apricots, and light hops. Finishes well with smooth aftertaste. Good flavor just not a lot of flavor. Good for a lager

Again, thanks to Skyview. Copper color with a thin head. Carmel aroma with something a little like bubblegum. The taste is almost chocolate, with very dark bread. Quite nice.

This isn’t bad at all but not malty enough to be a Vienna. Like the export, it is very well carbonated. Amber in color and a little sweet with unprocessed grain.

Nice caramel nose. Dark brown body with faint hop nose. A wonderful grainy body with hints of caramel. Thanks again to Skyview for sharing!

A 12-oz bottle picked up at Bob’s McFarland Liquors in McFarland, WI. Pours a brownish amber brew with a small fast dissolving white head. Lots of carbonation in the glass. Aroma of pitted fruit, roasted barley malt, and llight caramel. Taste is very carbonated, light bodied, with some grass-like hops in the finish. Finish is light, a little watery and a hint of bitterness. I like this one over the Fauerbach Export. Happy to see another historical brewery making a comeback after a 40 year absence.

Copper to umber in color with a moderate somewhat fizzy ecru head. Inoffensive charcoal and light caramel aroma. Some hints of cherry licorice seem to lurk in the backdrop. Innocuous enough. Some husky grains seem to come out more as it warms. Fairly heavy for a amber lager. Dark roasted peanuts with toasted rye in the flavors. Just a hint os floral hops. Thicker throughout the quaff. Nothing really incites much emotion. Somewhat lifeless, quite boring. Yes there are no major flaws, but this is a sled ride down a small slope.
