Aroma is excellent, very malty, mostly caramel with some roastiness at the finish. Flavor is also very good, sweet malts start off, with a bready finish, very well balanced. A great beer in a style that is usually disappointing. AOF (282), Naperville, Illinois, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 19, 2008 Deep amber color on top of a thin yet fizzy off white head. Sweet malts, caramel, and yeasty dough domintate. Some hints of fresh citrus and piney hops, especially on the finish. Light to medium in body with a well balanced sweetness to it. Finishes slightly dry and hoppy. ucusty (1880), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 15, 2008 Pours auburn and transparent with fizzy off white head. Big malty aroma. Caramel malts up front hops, roast and fresh bread on the backside. I wish I had access to great lakes beer on the regular naivepegasus (183), USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 15, 2008 Pours amber with a two fingers of tan-white head. Maltiness dominates the odor. Starts off light, but builds with a really nice, soft caramel maltiness with an aftertaste of hops and burnt toast. An interesting, flavorful beer. jbean (110), Illinois, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 13, 2008 Bottle. Pours amber with one finger white head that reduces to lacing. Aroma is slighly hoppy, but predominantly toasty maltiness. One of the most flavorful Viennas I’ve ever had. Toasty, with some caramel malt, and some hops at the end. More hoppy than I expected. Pretty delicious. dalekliz (546), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 11, 2008 Bottle. Clear amber-orange with a nice white head. Aroma of hops and citrus. Pleasant taste of hops and malt. Not a very strong flavor but still tasty. lamas (715), Adams Morgan, Washington DC, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 10, 2008 Bottle. Please enjoy by: 01/13/08. Pours a clear, deep amber body with a one finger-thick tan head. Rich caramel maltiness in the aroma. Solidly medium-bodied. Lots of rich caramel and sweetly roasted maltiness start things off. Finishes with some drying, Corn Flakes-ish graininess. Another excellent job by Great Lakes at a style nobody cares about. Goodgrief (1148), Middletown, Delaware, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 1, 2008 Dec. 2005 - Beer poured amber color (really red) with nice little head and lacing. Aroma was sweet malt as was the flavor. Flavor really improved as it warmed. Sweetness and bitter hop finish were nicely balanced. Nice.
