Commercial Description:
Vienna style amber lager with a light copper color and nice malt sweetness. Rich, creamy and medium to full bodied, this lager uses seven different malts and three varieties of imported and domestic hops

Editor's note: A recipe formerly brewed by Independence Brewing in Philadelphia (defunct since 2000), and ressurrected for the 300. anniversary of Benjamin Franklin's birth by Lancaster Brewing Company.

Tap@Philly Airport "Brewpub". No nose. Amber, creamy, offwhite head. Ok malty base, light fruity notes. Hayish, uninspiring.

On draft at the brewery. Pours amber with a white head. Aroma of caramel and slight toasted malts. The flavor is caramel, slight roast, and slightly bitter in the finish. Good beer.

Draught at the Blue Dog in Chalfont. Clear, warm amber body. Earthy, rich, and fruity lager characters in the nose. Lightly nutty, Vienna malt profile with light fruity esters. An easy drinking session fest beer.

Pours a nice amber color. Nice sweet malt nose with a hint of hops. Taste is caramel, with mild hops and a touch of fruit.

At brewpub. Poured a medium brown body with a small off-white head. Mild aroma of carmel malts. Flavor was carmely with some toasted malts and a mild hop finish. Alright lager.

On tap at the brewery. Floral aroma and taste was a of sweet malts and a nice floral tone. Not the best balanced beer but a very drinkable beer.

On tap at a Ravens Roost meeting. Color reminded me of Yuengling Lager, and the flavor did too. Decent aroma, with sweet malt noticable. The head didn’t last too long, but I wonder if that was due to the glass it was served in. Some hops, but in the background. Pretty good brew- MUCH better that LBC Pils, so I hope this will be a mainstay of their lineup.
