12 ounce bottle into lager glass, no bottle dating. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy deep amber/copper color with a 1 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of dark/bready malt and moderate earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Good balance, complexity, and robustness of dark/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and no cloying flavors after the finish. Fairly clean on lager flavors with some light estery off flavor notes present. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied; with a very smooth and lightly creamy/bready moutthfeel that is good. Alcohol is well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a solid vienna lager. All around good robustness and balance of dark/bready malt and light-moderate earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. No idea on age of this bottle; but some definite signs of age are there, with some off flavors from the yeast as well. Might be better when it’s fresh. A fairly enjoyable offering as it was.

L - Slightly hazy orange, copper color. Near white head that mostly dissipates after a short time.
S - Mild roasty caramel smell, little bit of hops but not much. Smells like an amber. Slight citrus.
T - Fairly bright flavor, but lacking a bit in richness. Slight metallic finish, but not the worst. Very approachable, but not much in the way of uniqueness.
F - Mouthfeel seems just right for the style, not too fizzy but just enough pop to tickle the tongue.
O - It's an amber... I would have been proud to homebrew this, but it doesn't have the perfect finish or creaminess of the best out there. Not bad, not excellent. The 5.8% ABV in the bottle I got from my liquor store owner friend was however not overpowering.
