A medium bodied vienna with a dry and sweet finish. Now, knowing the style as a vienna I understand its malty aroma and malty taste. Satisfying, not offensive nor interesting. Corn and carmel too, a macro brew replacement. Apparently not made by the brewery.

I found this to be an okay beer, departing from a standard pilsener. Amber copper color. Some hops in aroma. Grainy malt taste with a hint of std hops.

My favorite locally brewed beer. Great for everyday. More flavor than a typical pilsner. Probably more like an ale.

Well carbonated, honey colored pour with a straw aroma. White head that has just a touch of lacing. Sweet, malty front end with a slightly bitter hop finish. A good session beer.

I think they miss-bottled this. Hardly a pils. Very smooth and polite ale. Pours offwhite head with a cloud of brown amber dust. Nose is somewhat soapy.Taste is straight bread, caramel, faint cinnamon over a malty layer.

I remember when this first came out and I loved it. With 20 years more experience with micros, it’s still drinakable but hard to call it a Pils. It’s too dark, too malty, too sweet. Give my an Urquel, or a Prima for authentic pilsner taste. This is just a nice well made beer; I docked ti a couple of points for pretending to be a pilsner instead of a Vienna.

New In Town… Although it is very limited and I don’t know how long it will last.

Pours with a dancing copper body and a tall white head. The aroma and flavor suggest caramel malts, oatmeal with a pinch of brown sugar, and a grassy yet woodsy bite of hops in the finish. The palate remains crisp and jubilant from beginning to end; which shows some dry bitterness. - Overall… this shows to be one of the most authentic American brewed Pils I have ever had! A Terrific Session 6pack!

Bottle Pours a copper with a white head. Has an aroma of carmel. Taste is crisp with a nice mix. Not real strong but a nice hint of spices. No strong aftertaste. Good carbonation and refreshing.
