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.

Good amber/red color,small off white head that managed to have a decent hangtime,and leave a little at the sides.Nice malty semi-sweet aroma with a little fruit and hops.Very nice flavor,light malt with a very decent amount of hops coming through but not over poweringly enough to make it bitter.The fruit is a nice mild grapefruit.This is almost a light version of a pale ale IMO and very drinkable,makes me wish i could get this stuff up here because i could definately go through alot of these this summer.Thanks to Jcapriotti for sending this up to me.

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.

One of my favorites from Lakefront,it’s best on draught. Pours a deep amber colour with a big white head. Slightly nutty with a touch of roasted malts. Well integrated hop character, full fruity flavor in the finish.

Was hoping to like this more than I did. Very amazingly red. Smells of cherry and cream soda. Flavor is fruity and sweet, didn’t really get any caramel or much in it. Inoffensively average.

Still one of my favorite Milwaukee beers, but needed a little touch-up as I get older... Amber-to-copper in color and translucent with a pillowy, fluffy white head. Aroma is sweet and spicy - pulling on toffee, caramel, roasted aspects and a dash of pepper. Taste proceeds in an amplified fashion of what we expected in aroma: smooth yet spicy and an all-encompassing flavor department. Caramel, cinnamon rolls without icing and mild butterscotch flavors jive harmoniously with the roasted nature and substantial malt support. Slightly bitter with a moderately aggressive edge to balance the lager. Dry finish. Damn good beer.

copper body with a thick yellowish head. citrus honeysuckle nose. nice sweet uncomplicated aroma. taste is caramel, a bit of apple unfortunately. i hope this was just stored wrong. the off flavors get stronger as this goes on. not pleasant. apple, pear, corn. damnit. 4 7 3 1 6

Bright ruby with a small off-white head. Sweet cherry soda aroma. Sweet cherry bubblegummy flavor, not much else, certainly no caramel. Medium light body. I could live without this one.

Damn this is good lager!! Sweet, rich malts aplenty and a perfect little cascade hops balancer at the finish. So clean and thirst quenching, I would find it hard to believe that any beer drinker would have anything bad to say about it. Hints of peaty smokiness and earthy notes linger after each sip.
