| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 4, 2007 This vienna beer pours copperish brown with an longer head. The nutty aromas show off all of the blended malts. The mouthfeel drives the caramel and toast of the malt as well. A great use of the robust malts. The finish lasts long and is complex.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 1, 2007 I had been wanting to try this for a while, being as it is one of the highest rated Vienna’s. Bottle. Pours a deep copper-amber with a nice fluffy lasting off white head. Aroma is loaded with toasty light munich and vienna malts- bready and nutty with a nice light caramel sweentes sand balance with good herbal hops. Fresh bread, nuts, toast, munich and noble hop flavor, clean crisp finish, and very smooth. Kickass lager. sheatripper (863), Brooklyn, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 25, 2007 Bottle. Deep amber color with a frothy off-white head leaving webby lacing. Aroma of toasty cookie/caramel malts, with some floral/honey and even pale fruit notes. Full but not-too-sweet malty flavors-- granola/ toast/caramel balanced by a nice measure of hoppiness (citrus/grass). Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Great little malty lager, balanced all around, and as a bonus I feel like I got a slight bargain with the price. fishingnet (1045), Brandon, Florida, USA

Pours a slightly hazy amber with a small white head that fades to a ring and leaves minimal lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, light toasted malt, and floral hops. Taste is sweet caramel that fades to citrus hops and a light toasty finish. Medium mouthfeel with a well balanced bitterness. Very good. GeneralGao (3051), Iowa City, Iowa, USA

Head was off white and dissipated over a period of several minutes. Smelled of toffee, flowery hops, and dark cherry. Medium bodied and slightly sweet on the tongue.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 6, 2007 12 ounce bottle . Shaker glass. Amber with a small beige head. Aroma was of mainly light and hoppy. The flavor was mainly grassy hops with a touch of malt and some bitterness on the finish. A little more hoppy and not as much malt as I expected from the style. Taste more like an APA to me. But overall not bad.
