Commercial Description:
A delicate balance of toasted malt and fresh hops give this medium-bodied German style lager an intriguing complex flavor. A creamy head, deep golden color and an impressive hop bouquet make this a very special beer.

It’s all right. Nothing terribly special. Just sort of middle of the road. Better at about 50 degrees F. Metallic aroma of noble bittering hops. Slightly malty body of pilsner and vienna and munich. Probably great with a meal.

Decent malty aroma. Dark amber color. Pleasant flavor, bitter, but not too much to be unpleasant. Decent body, with good carbonation. Overall, a nice beer.

Purchased a single 16 oz. bottle. Creamy, multi-sized bubble, good carbonation, but almost no head. Curiously, good lacing. Clear, amber color. Citrus and hop aroma. Biter flavor dominates, but there is some malt flavor too. Tannic aftertaste. Crisp carbonation. Too bitter for my taste.

16 oz. bottle from BevMo. Pours clear, dark amber with a smallish white head. Full aroma of toasty malts with a large dose of floral hops. Flavor is lightly caramel, a bit of hay, mild grapefruit notes and a floral/herbal character to the finish. Light to medium body and assertive carbonaton.

This Vienna pours a golden amber color from a 16oz bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is caramel malts and floral hops. A medium bodied Vienna. Malts are caramel sweet with a touch of malt roastyness. Hops are floral and a touch earthy. Nice balance. Smooth taste. Very decent Vienna. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Very malty and hoppy tasting. It is a nice amber color with not much for head. I had this at a restaurant in Neenah, Wisconsin. I liked it and would definitely drink it again.
