Commercial Description:
A deep, rich Lager in the style of "Vienna" but traditional to Northern Europe. Brewing from a recipe of five different barley malts, gives this beer a full 'malty' flavour with a hint of hops in the finish.

I appreciate the attempt at a style that is not brewed enough in the new world--or old, for that matter. Not an exceptional example of a Vienna lager, the Hagars/Howe Sound version is nevertheless solid and refreshing and worth a try.

Amber in color with a light hoppy aroma. Fairly balanced malt/hops, not much of anything happening here though.

Light orange colour with off white head. Decent malts with a hoppy taste. Found the finish to be a bit bitter. Not overly impressed.

Amber coloured. medium bodied, lightly roasty. You’re right, Oakes, this is better than the beers it has been named after.

This beer has evolved from an tasty malt-accented Vienna to a tasty hop-accented one. I’ve had a lot of amber lagers from Scandinavia and this is better than any of them (ok, except maybe Appollo from Copenhagen).
