Gold, with a white head. Aroma is subtle hops, malt, and spices. Flvaor is again subtle, with hops, malt, and some sugar. Refreshing.

On tap at a promo night. This one was too hoppy for a lager. I mean, if you really like hops that much, try another style. Call something a lager, and it should be smooth and with enough malt to balance the hops. Not so here.

12oz bottle from cbkschubert. Soapy aroma along with some spice. Hazy gold body with white head. Flavor had a zesty lemon start and by the fisnish a malted wet grain was there and took away the zesty bitterness. Good brew thanks Craig.

Light toast and cookies, specifically gingersnaps. Sweet and smooth. A little bitterness in the back balancing, but no real hops. Simple, but a perfect vienna.

12 oz bottle from variety pack. As were the previous two styles from this pack, this is more hoppy bitter than one would expect. I guess that’s what gives them their Smuttynose... but I digress. Not as amber as the pale ale, but almost as hoppy, nice white head with good lacing, this beer went down easy. Certainly is nice to have a lager with some oomph to it.
