tjthresh (1746), Greenfield, Indiana, USA Jun 18, 2007 12 ounce bottle poured into a tankard mug. Amber red with a lasting beige head. There’s even some nice lace left behind. The aroma is toasted and nutty, with lots of noble hop character. The flavor is the same toasted malts with a sturdy hop flavor and bitterness. Very easy to drink. This beer kicks all kinds of ass. xmarcnolanx (789), Kirkwood, Missouri, USA Jun 7, 2007 A nice, caramelly, malty beer. A slight hop character with a smooth finish. A good beer, but nothing outstanding. Was a good vienna. Good session beer. dillinja (24), Boulder, Colorado, USA Jun 5, 2007 Never seen this until I picked it up on an overnight Ohio stop driving x-country. Great deep lager character with enough hops to hold it up, super drinkable finish. Most excellent for the style - and refreshing enough to drop a few easily after driving 12 hours. joshwilfong (769), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Jun 5, 2007 a strong hop character for the style but is balanced and overall I would consider a high quality good vienna adrian910ss (1395), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA May 23, 2007 Pours a clear amber red with a medium beige head. Aroma of sweet malts, caramel and sourness. Taste is light malty with caramel and toffee hints. Not bad. Scubatrip (387), Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA May 16, 2007 From the bottle, courtesy of MrBendo, pours a deep coppery red with a thick but disipating off white head, nice lacing. Smells of malts as well as cinnamon. Surprising and interesting aroma. Taste is earthy, with some malts and clove-like spice. Thin, but not watery. As it warms, the flavor does tail off a bit. cking (1012), North Canton, Ohio, USA May 14, 2007 Rated 2/18/06: Yet another wonderful beer from Great Lakes. This lager pours a rich amber color and is topped with a thick creamy tan head. Mild carbonation and minimal lacing, this beer simply looks smooth. The aroma primarily consists of sweet malts, I am not able to catch the faint hop nose that is promised on the bottle. The flavor is outstanding for this style. The sweet malts are dominant, the hops although minimal do make themselves present in the taste. Maybe Mr. Ness just needed to warm up a bit. Thick creamy mouthfeel with a smooth finish. Excellent BeerVirgin72 (778), Pataskala, Ohio, USA May 10, 2007 Had on tap at local bar...Poured a nice light copper color. Very malty. Which I loved. Taste is almost pure sweet malt, maybe a hint of toffee or caramel. Very drinkable!
