Dec 19, 2004 I drank this a mere 12 hours after the "best by" date. Black cherry colored with a small, light-brown head that is mostly diminishing. Light brown sugar aroma, with sour grains and light citrus. Lightly bitter, with sour grains most prevalent, multigrain bread, and roasted nuts. Some slightly fruity esters. Very mellow, and quite possibly past its prime- though if it went south less than a day after it’s best by date, that’s pretty bad.

Apr 20, 2004 Amber with a big lasting beige head. Aroma of malt and hops. Flavor is sweet, malty, caramel, and a little fruit. This is the first Vienna that I've really liked.

May 7, 2008 Sample at West Lakeview Liquors, Chicago, Great Lakes Tasting. Interesting to see that this is the top-rated vienna. Good job Great Lakes. Darker amber color with medium off-white head. Aroma is very much caramel and noble, spicy hops. Flavor is along the same lines with some graininess as well. Medium to thin body and well carbonated. Not bad.

Jul 15, 2009 Bottle. Clear deep crimson with a medium to large white head. Grainy, light malt, touch of sweetness. Thin to medium body, lightly sweet, touch of caramel. Finishes with almost a hint of a metallic twang, and a refined gentle bitterness.

Dec 3, 2007 light brownish red hue, aroma is malty with hints of hops. Flavor was clean sweet lager flavor with hops in the swallow. Im not a big fan of this style, and i kno great lakes is a good company, but i was extremely surprised and impressed by this beer

May 20, 2009 Rich copper, barely tan head. Dry caramel roast aroma. Fairly full bodied, dry and dusty, though not like old stale malt, this is woodsy with a brown sugar finish. Maybe heavy for the style, but I enjoyed it.
