Nov 19, 2005 Updated: Nov 21, 2005Bottle (12oz). Shared with blankboy, GregClow and tupalev - courtesy of tupalev. Poured clear amber-gold with a small head. Aroma of pungent yet stale hops, slightly of malt, very dry. Tastes of stale orange juice, stale hops, slightly harsh. Mouthfeel is dry, harsh and bitter - this is just okay, not malty enough to be a true Vienna, IMHO.

Nov 18, 2005 A respectable lager. Has a very crisp malty flavor with some hops in the finish, which is a welcome suprise or me with the usual lager. Can’t complain with this.

Nov 11, 2005 Bottle from dirtymike. Thanks! I’m really liking the offbeat bottle labels... Anyway, pours a medium gold with a frothy head of white. Aroma is your typical skunk smell; rather, it’s a nice balance of hops and herbs. Flavor is a nice, light and crisp maltiness balanced by a bitter hop ending. Flavor is gone too quickly, in my opinion-- I would like more. Palate suits the beer nicely. Good session beer; wouldn’t mind more of these.

Oct 29, 2005 A rather bland offering as Lagers go. I was not impressed by anything other than its drinkability. I will second the desciption that it’s a good sandwich beer!

Oct 28, 2005 How could I not have rated this? I drink it all the time. Anyways, as Viennas go, I prefer Eliot Ness, which has a much more integrated toffee and biscuit flavor, but Smuttynose does a nice job with making a lightly sweet, toasty-malty sandwich beer. FInishes clean with light herbal notes.

Oct 20, 2005 Pours orange with a large creamy whit head. Aroma is fruity, but very light. Flavor is like the aroma, fruity but light. It tastes like a lighter version of the smuttynose pale ale. not a bad lager but I’d like it to have more flavor.

Oct 5, 2005 12 oz bottle via trade with Lou18 - Thanks Lou! - Poured cloudy amber with a fair white head. Aroma is a little caramel and a lot of grains. Flavor is caramel malts and a bit of a hop finish. Mouthfeel is buttery medium bodied. Slightly sour aftertaste that I didn’t find real pleasant.

Oct 2, 2005 (Bottle, brew date 6/05) Pours a bit cloudy, yellow-orange body. White head, good lacing. Smells faintly buttery. Flavor very mild, finishes a little bitter. OK lager, but weak on flavor.
