A great full flavoured beer. Enjoyable malts and slightly spicy. The colour was golden. A nice looking beer and an enjoyable taste. i will drink again.

I thought this brew was pretty good. light and tastey. Goes down smooth as silk and very refreshing. I’d buy this beer again that’s for sure.

Orange color with a thick rocky white head. Light malt and hop aroma. Moderate grainy taste, but not completely overbearing.

A creamy white head with moderate lacing caps this golden larger. This beer has an extremely mild aroma. A smooth taste is followed by a rich body. A pretty good larger.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, GregClow & tupalev -- courtesy of tupalev. Pours a clear amber-gold with a small diminishing white head. Mild aroma of mild hops, spices, caramel malt and fruit. Flavour of malt, grain, hops and nuts. It doesn’t taste much like a Vienna but considering I don’t much care for Lagers --and I like this! -- I have to say kudos to Smuttynose for this Lager, I actually like it.

Bottle shared with blankboy, tupalev & HogTownHarry - courtesy of tupalev. Amber-gold with a small head. Aroma is fairly sweet, with some light hops. Flavour is nicely balanced, with a bit of toastiness in the background that I really liked. Finish is fairly dry with some lingering hops. I wouldn’t call it a Vienna personally, but it’s a decent enough lager.

Shared with blankboy, GregClow and Hogtown Harry - courtesy of me/ Light yellow, small slick white head. Slight hops in light aroma. Decent lightly hopped taste. Light mouthfeel. Lingering bitterness, light malt throughout. Decent beer for sure, but just don’t see it as a Vienna.
