Jan 2, 2009 12oz bottle from the mix pack. Pours cloudy amber with a thin off-white head. Aroma of malt, bread, spice and lager yeast. Malty aroma with some hop, but an overarching tartness that is ruining what may otherwise be a decent beer. Not seeing that in any other ratings, so maybe I got a bad bottle. Will re-rate if I try again and it is better.

Dec 15, 2008 Pours slightly hazy dark copper, head barely manages to skin the top. Aroma is grainy, toast, herbal hops, and a little caramel apple. Flavor is plenty of sweet grainy toast right away, apple, burnt sugar, sweet hay, sweet breads, slightly metallic malt notes, spicy and bitter hops. FInish is grassy and slightly bitter hops with a dry metallic tinge. Body is medium, sticky, sweet, and a little low on carbonation but not flat. Thought there are lots of sweet notes mentioned it is really very well balanced, probably the most hop character of any Vienna I have had, and quite good. Probably the best Vienna I have had, dont remember Elliot Ness that well though.

does not count  Dec 5, 2008 Pours a dark copper color with a rich minimal head. Dark hop & malt aroma. Smells a bit like the day after a kegger. Nice, medium body mouthfeel. Finishes short, smooth, and mellow. Great everyday beer, nice job Lakefront.

Nov 17, 2008 Bottle from Cock&Bull. Poured hazy dark copper color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted and produced good to excellent lacing. Moderate roasted apple bread and cascade hop aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Moderate to heavy bittersweet flavor with medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. The beer goes well with spicy food.

Oct 29, 2008 Pours an amber color with a large creamy off-white head that leaves streams of sticky lacing. Aroma is caramel malts and honey. Taste is about the same with a tinge of hop bitterness on the palate. Meh.
