Copper with a half-inch of head. This head is gone very quickly. Can't see through the beer, so let's call it cloudy.

Toasty and kinda mealy on the nose to start. There is some semblance of a floral and herbal quality from the hops, and a slight hint of caramel increases as we warm up with the beer. This is nice. Unfortunately, the smell of old flour is persistent.

Toasty with a minor EtOH impression. Not very rich, with that mealy character present. Tastes old in some way.

Nothing to write home about on the palate. Feels slightly flat. Lacks the crispness and drinkability of a good Vienna Lager.

A beer that has no distinguishable characteristics. Muddled, middling, ordinary.

I think this is an underrated beer. Very drinkable and has some nice subtle spices in it.

Reddish amber, clear, with off-white head. Head minimal, not lasting. Nose mildly hoppy over the malt, not strong, pleasant but not outstanding. Flavor is malt-dominant, with chestnut, spice, and mild caramel notes. A breadiness emerges after a few seconds. Don't chug it, let it develop. Mouthfeel mildly & pleasantly astringent. Overall a good beer.

Very crisp and carbonated this Vienna lager presents a ton of caramel sweetness and natural barley grain. The sweetness is a touch overpowering and doesn't allow this to be as drinkable as I would have thought.
