merlin48 (509), New Tazewell, Tennessee, USA Aug 15, 2007 Chill hazed copper amber with a small almond head. Malty toffee rules the nose, with hints of spicy hops and red apple skins. Taste follows suit with an added metalic note that fits in nicely. Very enjoyable. dchmela (1406), Orlando, Florida, USA Aug 12, 2007 Pours out nice amber color with fluffy white head. Nice malty sweetness in the nose. Malt stays on through the taste with a touch of spice to make it interesting. This is a nice german style beer with a little twist. Soonah (900), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA Aug 9, 2007 Poured a very nice swirl of mahogany and copper. The head was slightly off-white and had some retention. Some lacing. The aroma was malty and sweet with some nice floral and citrus undertones. The flavor followed suit. Malt was the star of the show, but the floral and citrus hops balanced it out nicely. Average body and mouthfeel. Nice. shendrix (478), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Aug 9, 2007 Overall, a very credible brew. Pours a dark, golden amber with a reasonable creamy head. The palate is a wheaty base overlain with sweet malts, caramel, and cracked, roasted barley. Respectable hops and a nice alcohol warming comes through in the finish. prosqtor (408), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA Aug 8, 2007 This just isn’t my thing. I know plenty of people who drink nothing else. Caramel and smoke with lots and lots and lots of malt flavor. Just not me, though. Interesting that the "serve in" descriptions don’t include "stein." JoeMcPhee (4893), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Aug 4, 2007 12 oz bottle. Deep amber colour, chreamy tan head. Lovely deep malty aroma, toasted malt and soft sweet caramel. Quite clean smelling and very fresh. Moderate/light bitterness but just enough to balance the chewy sweetness. Very nice vienna. shrubber85 (2833), Wallhalben, Germany Aug 3, 2007 Bottle. Cherry and caramel malt aroma. Brown amber color with moderate head. Sweet caramel malt with light hops finish. Much nicer body than you usually get with a Vienna.
