(on bottle)The lightest vienna I ever saw, clear, golden-yellow with a white head. Seemed to be a bit oxidaded, cardboardish taste, along with a big ol´handfull of malts. No hopping to detect and that kind of kicks off the balace.

This was well worth the 99 cents I paid for the beer. Nice session Vienna. Hazy golden color and a small head. The aroma is malty sweet, a bit of citrus and a slight but of nuts. The flavor reflects the sweetness well, but there is an odd taste at the end. The palate just isnt much, but still, not a bad all around easy going drink.

Pleasant as a refresher on a hot day. Clean nose, excellent deep gold color, full bodied but not heavy, more hops then malt but nicely balanced.

Pours a light straw yellow body with a thick off-white head. Aroma is somewhat fruity (apricot?). Taste is a little sweet with a nutty malt flavor and a little lemony hops coming through. Not a bad lager (another style I usually stear clear of). I’m becoming a big Smuttynose fan.

Cloudy honey color with a mostly retained egg white head. Aroma is grainy/malty. Flavor is likewise with a substanital biscuity malt flavor and a bit of bitterness for balance. Good beer. Thanks Probiere!

Bottle. Brewed and bottled: 02/05. Pours a light-copper with a two-finger thick light-tan head. A little fizziness going on. Spicy and hoppy aroma with some hints of apricots. Pretty well-balanced but lacking any significant flavoring. Very grainy and crisp. Sweet malts, a little corniness and some bitter hops. Pretty blah. Not horrible, just very boring.

Pours a light amber color with a small head....lacing hangs around a good while. Aroma has hints of fruit. Taste is malty on the front end and has hints of lemon on the finish. I would recommend this to others as a good session beer.
