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.

One of Lakefront’s oldest brands (next to Eastside Dark) and I still have a few of the 16oz labels when they first bottled their beers in 1992. This beer pours a light brown brew with an average white head. Aromas of toasted caramel, grapefruit, honey wheat bread and toffee. Tastes simular to an oktoberfest but the caramel barely malt is picked up right away. Nice finish with some sweet after taste. It’s a little lighter compared to the original Stein Beer that Mark May did for Lakefront back in the early 1990s but still just as good.

Bottled. Poured clear brighter orange with light swirly yeastage and a tall cap of creamy off-white head. The aroma picked up sweet breads and pils-type malts accented by light green fruits and some pine resin.. quite nice. The flavor had sweet, lightly-toasted caramel with lovely pine accents.. light fruits tail off the sides, leaving a sweet, rewarding feel through the finish. Light-medium bodied and predominantly sweet on the palate with great balance. Well done!

Bottle (12oz). via trade from Ughsmash. Clear reddish amber with an average off-white head. Grainy, slightly chocolatey roast malt aroma, with mild hops, fairly sweet. Soft, mild taste - light roast slightly caramel malt, mild fresh lightly citrus hops - quick off the tongue, a nice sipper. Flat, somewhat light bodied and slightly astringent palate - thin, but a pleasant vienna lager.

Medium amber color. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is caramel and fruity. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are slightly spicy. Nice slightly toasty malt front. Lively carbonation, but a touch watery. Nice drinkable Vienna. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and dry. Aftertaste is malty and slightly sweet.

Bottle. Pours a mahogany body with a yellow white head. Malty with caramel body and a faint dry hoppiness. Toffee and a dry malty body with a mild sweetness. A bit bland and very session able as the name suggests.

This brew poured a medium sized head of mostly diminishing fine to medium sized off-white colored bubbles that left behind a fair lace. The body is carbonated and a transparent light brown color. The aroma is malty with a very nice strong caramel not to it. The mouth feel is smooth and slightly tingly from start to finish. The flavor is mildly vinuous with caramel and toasty malt notes.

A deep brown color with a head that disappears instantly. Malt in the aroma. The taste has a malt character to it, but also strong on the bitter. It almost tasted like a dopplebock-bitter hybrid. Different. Good, but different.

I had been wanting to try this for a while, being as it is one of the highest rated Vienna’s. Bottle. Pours a deep copper-amber with a nice fluffy lasting off white head. Aroma is loaded with toasty light munich and vienna malts- bready and nutty with a nice light caramel sweentes sand balance with good herbal hops. Fresh bread, nuts, toast, munich and noble hop flavor, clean crisp finish, and very smooth. Kickass lager.
