Mar 25, 2007 Pours a slightly hazy amber color. Medium off-white, frothy head with good retention. It leaves a gorgeous lacing in my Pilsener glass.
Aroma is hoppy with herbal and fruity touches. Apples, mint, oranges some almonds and flowers like roses. Agreeable and solid, very clean and crisp.
Flavor is bittersweet, nutty and fruity with hints of apricots, apples and rose hip. Quite enjoyable, flavorful Vienna.
Creamy texture, nice velvety mouthfeel. Dry finish with reasonable bitterness. Herbal aftertaste. Very solid lager but I’m not overly impressed for a Top 5 for this style. I’m still wanting to taste some European Viennas.
A million thanks to <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/View-User-31163.htm&g for sharing this one, my first American Microbrew.

Mar 24, 2007 Very deep, opaque reddish brown. Sweet malt aromashickory, cereal grains. Well balanced. I love the raw grain finish after a touch of grapefruit/pine hops. All kinds of malt, some chocolate, some spice, some roasted notes. Fairly clean finish. A great, dark vienna.

Mar 20, 2007 Pour is a amber with a fluffy white head. Aroma is a pretty decent amount of sweet and toasted malts. Flavor is caramel with a fresh hop backbone. A decent example of the style and a pretty good beer, especially for this brewer.

Feb 21, 2007 This beer is pretty common here in Milwaukee (it’s even at sporting events), and I’ve had it a few times. It tastes to me like an amber ale with a good hop presence (rather than as a Vienna or Maarzen), and is rather good.
Appearance is a dark red-brown color with decent head formation. Aroma is a nice caramel malt and fruity hop balance. Flavor is also similarly balanced, with an assertive hop presence. Mouthfeel is full bodied. Quite good.

Feb 10, 2007 Thanks to hopdog for bringing this back from Wisconsin. Pours a translucent golden amber with a smaller bubbly off white head that left some lacing. Aroma of sweet malts, toasted malts, caramel and some fruitiness. Flavor of sweet toasted malts, caramel, very clean mouthfeel, some citrus from the hops.

Feb 9, 2007 Clear copper appearance with a small off white head. Aroma of roasted malts, cookie dough, caramel and ripe fruit. Sweet malts dominate the taste; an earthy edge helps bring out flavors of fall fruits and spices. Smooth, medium bodied mouthfeel with good carbonation leading to a lasting, mildly bitter finish.
