Amadeus Vienna Lager
Stone's Throw Brewing

 

 

Draft. Dark amber. Toasty and bready malt with some rich yeast flavor. Slight hint of citrus, peanut. Mouthfeel is on the thin side. Medium carbonation.

 

I am updating this basically across the board. This has been cleaned up a lot since the first time I had it. No butter diacetly at all. The earthy hops, nuttiness and really nice malt character shine and make this a very nice lager for the Little Rock area. Recommended.

A: Pours a clear dark reddish/brown color. A two finger white head forms with good retention and lace left behind.
S: Grains, bread, caramel malts, and a light earthy hop character...almost tea like. A simple nose, but enjoyable.
T: Like the nose, grains, caramel malts and sweetness. A touch of earthy hops, then some nuttiness and maybe a bit of buttery diacetyl. Though that is very much in the background, and I am super sensitive so many people probably will not get that.
M/O: A light to medium body. Well carbonated and smooth at the same time. Easy to drink, and even with that bit of buttery character, I can have a few of these.

A good lager that I enjoyed, even though I found a touch of a "flaw" for my tastes. Even so, that is very minor and overall just enjoyable, if not exceptional. Nothing wrong with that, a good local option around Little Rock.
