16oz can into a pint glass. NO freshness dating.
Glassy, hazy, yellow body. Small white head quickly shrinks to a covering, no lacing.
Floral, lemony aroma.
Crisp, clean taste, a little bite to it. Faint lemon hit.
Mouth medium, finish lightly bitter lemon.
Overall, a decent enough drink. No idea why the brewer calls this a Vienna, color and caramel maltiness is absent.

A thanks to the creator of the canquest, woodychabdler, for this beer. Poured from a 16 oz. can. Has a bright golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of lemons, malts. Taste is the same as the aroma, some tartness. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is where I deduct points because this is not what I expect from the style.

We have been getting limited distro from this brewery for a little while & I decided to make them the next horizontal for The CANQuest (tm). I hope that they CANtinue to send their beers our way!

I beCAN by Crack!ing open the vent before starting a slow, gentle C-Line Glug into my awaiting tall Pilsner glass that I got at Ollie's Discount store. They often have really nice glassware on offer & I bought a number of these glasses towards the end of the initial quarantine. The beer foamed mightily to form two-plus fingers' worth of foamy, soapy, rocky, bone-white head with moderate retention, gently falling away into wisps while leaving nice lacing as a memento. Color was Pale-Straw (SRM = 1 - 2), not at all Amber, with NE-quality clarity. Nose had a freshly-mown quality of grass & hay, very evocative of Summer at my maternal grandparents' home which abutted a working farm in my youth. Mouthfeel was a bit thin, standard for a Lager, but thin all the same. The taste had the crisp toastiness mentioned in this site's Style Guide, but none of the caramel sweetness. The brewery identified it as a Vienna Lager so this is CANpletely on them. Finish was refreshing & semi-dry. It really was not stylistically brewed, but there was nothing wrong with it, either. My scores hopefully reflect all of this. YMMV.
