PapaSkeetSkeet (65), , Massachusetts, USA Jun 17, 2009 A very nice thin yellow white head reminiscent of a good crema on a shot of espresso. Aroma contains some hops typical of the style with a nice refreshing breeze coming off of an old growth pine forest over a glacial lake in canada. The taste a bit mild of balenced hops and malt. Moderate carbonation. Smooth sweet fade away. Hmmm nice, perhaps a bit more complexity in the flavor. Cybercat (778), Georgia, USA Jun 12, 2009 Pours a beautiful dark coppery amber with a VERY thick, if not too persistent, head. (The bottle foamed like nobody’s business so I had to grab a bath towel or get a lapful of beer!) Aroma is quite strong and malty with just a hint of citrus. Taste is malty, not complex but pleasing, with just a touch of sweetness. Texture is smooth and lively, leaving quite a tingle. obxdude10 (1546), Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA May 13, 2009 This is a very satisifying vienna lager. It pours an amber color with a thick and bubbly off-white head. The head leaves gobs of lacing around the glass in a beautiful cascading pattern. The aroma is of toasted malt, yeast and a hint of caramel. The body is fairly thick, but smooth and drinkable. The flavors noted were toasted bread, hops, caramel and some earth. The finish is smooth and even a little creamy. This is one pretty darn good vienna beer. SSSteve (2047), Atlanta, Georgia, USA May 9, 2009 clear light amber under a large creamy beige head. nice toasted biscuity malt aroma. toasted malts with lots of flowery hops. crisp and refreshing vienna. FlssmrBrewAlum (1079), Lisle, Illinois, USA Apr 5, 2009 12 oz bottle from the brewery (Milwaukee, WI) from my February trip there. Pours a very solid dark amber with decent offwhite head that sticks around, decent haze, touch of lacing. Aromas are a bit of a stinky maltiness, reminiscent of a pilsner, with light bready and biscuity malts. Vague floral hoppiness. Initial is light bodied, sessionable, with carmel and bready malts, a touch of spice for intrigue, and light floral hoppy bitterness. Light, sessionable, but still good flavor. Finishes with a nice malty sweetness and balancing hop and a touch of spice that stays with the palate and aftertaste. I liked this, as simple as it was. BroSpud (584), , Massachusetts, USA Apr 4, 2009 12oz bottle included in a Lakefront mix pack. Better than expected. Cloudy dark amber. Very malty flavor with taste of caramel. zach8270 (2051), Henrietta, New York, USA Mar 28, 2009 (bottle - 12 oz) Clear amber in color with a creamy off-white head. Aroma is slightly vegetal with some sweet and caramel malts. Flavor is sweet at the beginning with hints of honey and caramel. The middle has a smooth and creamy feel to it with some sweet malts. Finishes sweet and has a nice bitter balance to it.
