Tap at Burlington. Poured a golden amber color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left sudsy lace. It smelled of toasted malt, caramel and toffee. Sweet toffee taste with toasted bread and a mild kick of citrus.

 

 

Pours a rich, clear golden caramel with a light 1" head, only moderate retention but some streaky looking lacing. Nose is toasted malt, light caramel, grassy hop. Taste starts with moderate malt sweetness up front, some slight noble bitterness, but on the finish comes melba and rye toast and more bitterness to give it a really inviting flavor. Definitely more bready than I would expect from a Vienna (more like a Märzen) but this very delicious. Feel is rich and creamy without getting heavy, and one that I think would be exceptional on cask (though good luck with that). One of my favorite Burlington beers that I've had.
