| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 22, 2008 The thanks go out to Crizay tonight! Pours reddish burnt orange with an off-white head, more substantial than German counterparts, but still dissipating. Aroma of toast, toffee, slight dark fruit, light hazelnut. Hops are faint, but fruity on the nose. Well blended aroma. Sweet caramel taste, some toffee, light bread crust and earthy dirtlike hop flavor. Finishes with a leafy hop taste, toast, bark, with some lingering caramel flavor intermingling with the earthy bitterness. Light mouthfeel, but full flavors make it seem better. Medium carbonation. This is very good, what more could you want from a Vienna? tarheels86 (757), Washington DC, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 10, 2009 355mL. Awesome. Poured a clear amber with an enormous yellow head that has awesome retention and leaves excellent lacing. Spicy rye aroma with some strawberries, All-Bran cereal, cream of wheat, caramel malt, cornbread, brown sugar....very earthy. Taste is excellent: massive hop backbone with rye toast, earthiness, buttered biscuit. A killer session beer! LIke drinking spiked brown sugar cream of wheat. jayme9874 (756), Hamburg, New York, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 3, 2002 Updated: Feb 19, 2007Clear red/copper. Nice head and lace. Toasty, buttery malt nose with hints of caramel. Lively in the mouth with a palate full of burnt caramel and chewy soft malt. Nice spicy hop finish. Well balanced and damn tasty! Seems to vary from bottle to bottle. Can range from amazing to average. I think thats what explains the disparity in ratings. mmmbeer (752), Austin, Texas, USA

Faint aroma of malt. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt comes in nicely, a turpentine bitterness appears in the middle and lasts well after the finish. Old keg? Up for a rerate down the line... mcbackus (750), Merritt Island, Florida, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 26, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a clear amber body with a small, creamy, beige head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is malt dominated with a good amount of caramel and toffee. Some nuttiness and hop characters. Taste is similar to the aroma. Well rounded and sweet. Finishes with a little bit of lingering bitterness. Medium bodied and creamy. Overall, its a nice, smooth, easy drinking beer that doesnt stand out, but is quite enjoyable. herbjones (742), Orange, California, USA
