| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 24, 2006 Great. Poured a nice red with a lacing foam. Aroma is hoppy and sweet caramel. Flavor is hops at first, but is very balanced by sweet caramel. porterhouse (1152), Alna, Maine, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 19, 2006 (Bottle (best by 10/21/06) via trade with OhioDad, thanks Scott!) Nice, but a little timid for flavor...Pours clear burnt orange with a few fingers of orange-tinted cream-colored head. Nose of vanilla and caramel. Mouthfeel smooth but fairly prickly. Sloppy lacing. Tastes of toasted caramel maltiness with some bitterness in finish. A nice flavor but on the weaker side IMO. Would rank it below Brooklyn Lager or even Z Street Vienna. awaisanen (1279), Irvine, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 18, 2006 From 12oz Bottle. Lovely,
transparent pour of rich mahogany, topped with a well sustaining head of ivory foam. Pleasant malty aromas of light vanilla, maple, and almond skins waft from my glass, accompanied by a touch of herbal hops for balance. Crisply carbonated, light, refreshing mouthfeel. Mmm... very nice. Subtly layered malt flavors roll gracefully across the tongue. Some nice caramelized maply syrup melds nicely with some woody bark before finishing with a final smack of nutty, light chocolate brownies. Thanks, Tom! buckybeer (666), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA

Beautiful color. Light malts and hops. Has a nice clean crisp taste. It is not the best beer in the world but whenever I see some I buy it. A great on to have on hand at all times. cheapdark (2015), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA
| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Oct 8, 2006 Updated: Nov 5, 2006Yeast aroma upon opening the bottle. Taste is better than the dortmunder and the burning river probably because bitter hops turns my taste buds. Has a good finish without the lingering bitterness of the other two. I must say this is only slightly better than your typical pale yellow american beer. Will not buy again.
So far, edmund fitz is the best of the variety pack. I still must taste holy moses, but don’t care for that name. ross (1709), weddington, South Carolina, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 5, 2006 Bottle from Scott, Thanks! Pours out a dark brown color without much of a head at all. Smell is rich and fruity, with some caramel and malt hints. Taste is smooth and refreshing, mouthfeel is pretty smooth. Certainly deserving of its top in this style, as Ive not had a better Vienna. Good beer, very good session beer.
