Aug 24, 2006 Pours an amber color with wafts of caramel malt oozing out of the glass. Not liking really malty beers I was pleasantly suprised with this one. The malt is the dominant force in aroma and taste but it has a bit of grassiness and floral hops that balance it out. With that said, for a big malt beer it’s very easy drinking.

Aug 16, 2006 Got this one bottled right from the brewery in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Deep reddish-brown pour with a thick, tan head. Excellent sample of the variety. Plenty of complex maltiness balanced with a floral, hoppy character. Orange, Granny-Smith apple, brown sugar and baked bread throughout. Finishes dry and clean. Excellent.

Aug 10, 2006 Updated: Jun 8, 200712 Oz Bottled Feb Wk3. Pour of hazed amber orange, fringes of tawny canteloupe flesh. Oily fringe of white. Rich blow of aroma with freshly grated lemongrass, touches of savory tarragon and a hint of lime-tinged grains. Gentle alcohol glows. On the tongue, a fairly average but quite pleasing soft sweetness from barley esters and lemon water. Fleeting hop dryness. Hints of rusty esters glow in the nose, alcohol detectable. Toasted caramel corners and rising raspberry bubbles. Palate is coaxing, leaving a glistening dab of molasses on the tip of the tongue. Heavily drinkable. Hop balance in plain C is appreciated.

Aug 9, 2006 Big malts here. Pours a deep clean amber with a small head. Nice malty and slight hop aroma. Same with the taste. Big malt with light hops mixed in. Very good.

Jul 5, 2006 Not much aroma and suprisingly little head. it has quite a bit of malt, near the edge of two much. I am sure the reason why I like this amber (compared to most ambers) is that it is in fact a Vienna. Drinkable in moderation.

Jul 1, 2006 Darker amber. Smooth caramel flavor. Slight sweetness - real tasty. A quality beer. The sweetness is not overdone - it is not an overly "rich tasting" Vienna. Good all around beer in appearance, taste, thirst quenching...... and at a decent price.

Jun 11, 2006 Maybe I got a bad bottle down in Pensacola, cuz my experience doesn’t align with the style or many of the other reviews below. Pour was on par, amber-oragne, the head was decent, as was the lacing. The aroma was very hard to pick up, more citrus and caramel than anything. The flavor was weird, caramel malts, not much toastiness, no bread, no nuts, just some sweet-sour light lemon juice in there. Brewery says Willamette and Cascade hops in the finish, but I didn’t have them in my bottle from Wk2, December. Maybe this was from 2004 and not 2005.
