Got this from butters_mcgee. 12 ounce can into lager glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy orange/copper color with a 1-2 finger dense light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of honey, brown sugar, toasted bread, light nuttiness, herbal, grass, light pepper, light citrus/berry, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of dark/bready malt and light-moderate fruity/earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of honey, brown sugar, toasted bread, light nuttiness, herbal, grass, light pepper, light citrus/berry, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of honey, toasted bread, light nuttiness, and herbal/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness and balance of dark/bready malt and light-moderate fruity/earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness after the finish. Very clean on lager flavors with minimal yeast notes present. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, fairly crisp, and lightly creamy/bread/sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 5%. Overall this is a very good Vienna lager style. All around good robustness and balance of dark/bready malt and light-moderate earthy/fruity hop flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. The fruity hop character was a unique addition to the beer, but other than that it felt very well done to style. A very enjoyable offering.
