Amber, clean and bright. One finger of decent foam.
In the smell biscuit, but not too fresh, a bit stale.
Biscuit in the taste, a bit of caramel, some hop. But all, not well mixed togheter.
Some so and so bitterness in the aftetaste.
Old maltiness, metallic, cooked veggie.

Pours a clear cooper appearance. Moderate head with little lacing.

Smell is dominated by various floral and herbal notes. Also quite a bit of caramel and sweet malts.

Taste emphasizes the sweetness of the malts and caramel more, with some slightly bitter floral hops in the background. Mouthfeel is light and with high carbonation.

This is not a great Vienna Lager, but it's a good one that's pretty damn drinkable.

 

 

Pours a crystal clear yellow with with fine head.

Smell is bready and slighly earthy, with notes of citrus, crackers and knäckebröd. Crisp and clean.

Taste is bready and crackery with some floral hints. Notes of citrus, knäckebröd and some peppery rye. Clean and crisp with a solid bitterness, and a hint of earthiness.

Mouthfeel is medium and well carbonated.

Overall, a nice, clean lager, let down slightly by the earthy notes.

The colour is gold (8 EBC), the liquid is clear. The two finger head is off-white and compact; it sinks quickly into a thick lid leaving no lacing.

The smell is malty and semi-sweet: Fresh sourdough bread, grains and a touch of golden syrup. Clean bitterness in the background with floral hints.

The taste is smooth with somewhat sweet malts, distinct notes of fine white bread, some caramel, floral hops and a balanced bitterness. Medium body. Some alcohol in the aftertaste as well as flowers, hints of caramel and ripe fruits. The finish is sweet with hints of oranges and rye crispbread.

The carbonation is medium strong; smooth long-lived bubbles. The liquid is smooth.

A highly drinkable lager without any rough edges. Still, it got lots of intriguing flavours if one takes time to find them. A little like a well-crafted German Kellerbier.
