A Vienna Lager that claims big things: Anton Dreher, an austro-hungarian brewer who came up with pale lager, was the person who created Vienna Lager first in 1841. I guess this is to commemorate him? as the brewery (before eaten up by Brau Union) was from Schwechat, where Anton Dreher was born.
The bottling suggests that it is something special, it comes in a non-standard, long necked bottle. Poured in a glass you cam already tell that it is the kind of lager that has perhaps added color to it, that brownish greyness. Smells not bad, tastes not bad either - Vienna Lager could be the best lager - but we run into a slight bitter dry film left on your tongue in the end. Intersting that all over the beer feels quite okay, just in the very last bit it becomes a bit "cheap".
It was good to drink it though, if Anton Dreher was really Hungarian indeed like we, hungarians like to think, I would even be proud of him.
P.s.: Re-evaluated it 4 years later. It felt even better so I had to dial the scores up a little.
