[Tap] Pours a dark shade of amber with a very small white head. Aroma of light malts and dry grains. Rather light in body, with caramel malts and a light and dry finish. Rather high carbonation. Seems like a pretty run-of-the-mill example of the style, but without any major flaws.

Bottle. Pour is light brown and clear. Aroma is malty, yeasty and lightly hoppy. Flavor is fuller bodied, nicely hoppy and pleasantly malty. It’s solid beer and easy to drink.

Poured from bottle into a Pint glass bearing the logo of a competitive Minnesota brewery. Clear, light copper with fairly thin head and no lacing. Toasted and caramel malt aroma with a nice spicy noble hop counterbalance. Fantastic toasted malt character, with notes of caramel and fruit. Finishes with a mild spicy bitterness. Moderately high carbonation with a clean, medium body. Nice dry finish. Overall, a refreshing beer that actually works for all seasons. Fantastic Vienna overall, and this is what I compare all other Viennas to. SA Boston Lager is great as well, but not a true Vienna.

Pours dark amber, with a orangeish tinge. Malty flavor very light and very carbonated and medium head. Has an apple caramel flavor.

Dark amber to medium brown color, highly carbonated with a frothy light brown head. Good looking. Caramel and molasses rich malt aroma with a touch of banana and peach. A very sweet smell that leaves no room for hops. The taste is deep malt but surprisingly not nearly as sweet or fruity as the aroma lets you believe. The flavor is chocked with a good amount of hops to dry the beer up. A very impressive and complex quality "red" malt lager.

Pours a bright orange-red color with small white head. Sweet malt aroma, a little corn, grass and caramel. Drinking this reminds me why I like Vienna’s...good balance of sweet malt and bitter hop bite. This vienna has a light-medium mouthfeel, some grassy hops, corn, caramel, maybe a hint of apple cider. This is a good vienna, highly drinkable, good flavor.

Bottle. Pours a deep and true amber/ brown color. The aroma is mostly sweet, like a normal vienna. There is great balance, though mostly malts. Overall, it is enjoyable but nothing spectacular.

Pours a clear, highly carbonated, amber color with a reddish brown color with a thin white head. Aroma is a sweet malt with some apple notes, light citrus notes and nice vienna and caramel malt notes. Flavor has a nice biting malt note, light dryness to it, a light citrus and spicy hops note and ends with a smooth sweet caramel taste. Pretty light in body and it goes down pretty easy. Overall a pretty good brew, a bit on the light side for the styling but would definitely buy again.
