Pours a maroon transluscent color with a medium head. Smell is a bit sour, slightly skunky, and metallic tart maltiness. Not terrible, but not inviting...Taste is not crisp at all, but rather sour smooth caramel. While drinkable, I wouldn’t recommend it. If this as as good as the style gets, maybe I just don’t like Viennas as much as I though I did.. DaSilky1 (2008), San Diego, California, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 13, 2006 via trade with OhioDad - Pours a very clear deep amber color (almost red). Initial head fades to nothing quickly. Very light carbonation. Has a nice grain, grass aroma. Has a light malt sweetness flavor. A smooth hop bitterness comes through at the end. Medium body. A nice, smooth easy drinking beer. Thanks Scott. decaturstevo (2004), decatur, Tennessee, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 29, 2008 This beer was mighty tastey! It was rich in an reddish coloured pour. Soft fluffy medium sized head with malty taste. Caramel flavor was prevalent, and it was a really filling brew. MilkmanDan (1940), Eagan, Minnesota, USA
| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | May 28, 2004 Updated: Jun 25, 2005Deep, vaguely hazy reddish-copper, with a thin, nicely firmed lasting head. Great nose, very malty with lots of caramel, also a bit sweet. Wonderful flavor, simply huge malts, nicely caramel-sweet with butterscotch and maybe a slight bit of apple tartness. Palate is the best part, very sticky and full. Great, great stuff, currently voted in as the best lager I’ve ever had. I would bathe in this on a daily basis had I that option.
