Dark orange appearance with a small head.Pleasant but unusually mundane for this brewery.Or perhaps I was in a grumpy mood when I tried it. leaparsons (4748), Leicester, Leicestershire, England

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 30, 2008 Bottle. Brownish and reddish beer with a malty and rich aroma. The flavour is rich and malty, mildly vinous and roasted. Overall a nice beer. Linnet (127), Umeå, Sweden
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 21, 2008 small, almost non existant off-white head. Ruby colour. Aroma of grapefruit, spices and sweet malt. Flavour is full of bread and a distinct hoppyness. There is almost some faint traces of smoke in the flavour too. A great vienna.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 16, 2008 My Bottom Line:
Caramelized, bready malts remain crisp enough to build a sessionable and clean Vienna-style experience, while leafy hops brush its background efficiently.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A ring of foam circles the clear, dark russet.
-Bitterness (and hop presence overall) is quite low. The finish remains quite dry though.
-Slight fruitiness roams throughout, but never bothers.
-This is not a memorable lager, but I’m sure it’s always a pleasant pint when you’re thirsty.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Oct 29, 2008 Pours a really pretty dark orange with an amber hue and a small frothy creamy beige head. Aroma of lightly oxidized hops, crusty bread, very light sweetness. Semi-sweet first taste that immediately turns very dry, bread crumbs, interesting hop spice, a bit bland. Nice smooth body though... Plimmer (251), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 25, 2008 Bottle 50cl. Amber/Orange/brown body with a small dense head. Caramel and malt in the nose. Rather sweet body with malt and hops as the dominating parts and a nice bitter finish. Nice beer!
