Terminus (1955), Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA Jul 28, 2005 bottle-thanks to secret santa for this one. pours a clear copper hue with a fizzy off-white head. aroma of caramel malt, spicy hops (Well well, when i was smelling this beer, i told myself "hey, i smell some american hops here. I guess i was right with the cascades), german yeast quallities and light funk. good malt base here. flavors are caramel malts, big spicy german hops with a light undertone of those cascades. body is medium and full for this style. finish is fairly bitter with all those spicy hops. some light malt notes (toasted) come out as well. This is a very good vienna, but not as good as the Great Lakes version i must say. This would make a great session beer. axilla (962), New Providence, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 30, 2005 Pours a red-orange body with a small off-white head. Sweet malty aroma with carmel hints.

Wow -- when they say "a generous amount of caramel malt" they aren’t kidding. Aroma is heavy caramel malt. Rich, mouth-coating malty flavor goodness. Very smooth and full, with hops lingering at the end, giving a slightly metallic finish along with tickling, light carbonation. This beer tastes as it looks -- full, rich, and caramelly in a beautiful amber liquid. twindadplus2 (408), Wisconsin, USA May 31, 2005 Updated: Jun 14, 2005Deep red with a nice off white long lasting head.
