Commercial Description:
The rich amber color and caramel flavor of this beer are derived from the generous amount of caramel malt in our recipe, with just a dash of roasted unmalted barley for a subtle toasted flavor in the background. The sweetness, body, and mouth feel tell you that this is an all-malt beer. The finish has a balanced edge of Willamen and Casade hoppiness which cuts through the malty character, leaving a clean palate which beckons for more. Note: the terminology of "stein" refers to the appropriate drinking vessel and not to a type of beer made with hot rocks.

12oz bottle. Pours a light tan, lacing head with a clear amber body. Smells of caramel and lightly roasted malts. Tastes to me like apricots and caramel. Decent palate.

Trade with noncaloric. Thin head. Dark amber beer. Very light aroma. A strong inhale builds a doughy heaviness with a center that is still elusive. Full body. Toasty flavour. Bring on the pint glasses!

Bottled Aug week 4. Poured amber with a creamy off-white head that settles to a ring. Malty aroma with a hop background. The flavor found caramel and grass hops with just a slight hint of spice. Light body and light bitterness.

Pours caramel color with off white head. Aroma of lightly toasted malts. Sweet, nutty flavor with some toasty maltiness, and mild hop bitterness. Medium body with moderate carbonation and a creamy mouthfeel. Better than expected.

Pours a clear dark amber with fair thin off-white head. Fruity appley esters on the nose with a sweet toastiness and slight vinegar note. Flavor is sweet caramel malt, biscuit, and a faint citrusy hop. Not bad as an alternative fat tire.

This is a very enjoyable Vienna with a fair amount of hop bitterness but this beer is balanced. Page 273 of MJ’s Great Beer Guide and only 146 of his 500 Classic Brews to go.

Amber pour. CaryTheDude, JakeBra, RyBra and various others told me this was awesome. I disagree. This is ok. Deep amber pour. Carmel aroma. Flavor is also carmelly. It’s ok. Not great. But, for a vienna, It’s alright.

Pours a dark amber, slightly red. Full beige head with good retention and lacing. Malty aroma, slightly sweet. Flavor is sweet malts, cream soda, caramel, slightly cidery, turning dry, somewhat bread-crusty at the end, but in a good way. Somewhat thin bodied, but the play of the carbonation in the mouth is delightful.
