Poured 16oz can into pint glass. Color is amber wood color with 2.5 finger white foamy head with excellent retention. Leaves clumps of foam and a thick collar around the glass. Lacing lines the glass in rings. Nice toasted malts, with sweet bread and caramel with some hints of Nobel hops and faint fruitiness. Flavor is smooth malt, bread, caramel, crystallized honey, and light hops. Smooth, rich and creamy with a medium body. Delicious and balanced, this really hits the spot.

This beer pours a pale brown-amber with a moderate head. The aroma is clean with cracker malts, toffee, and very mild chocolate. The flavor is crisp with rich malt tones, toffee, mild chocolate, wheat cereal, and a bit of grassiness. The mouthfeel is quite light with crisp fizzy carbonation. Overall a simple and classic vienna, malt driven and easygoing.

Pours a clear, honey-amber colour. Smell is very faint, pale malts, lager yeast, and not much else. Tastes about the same, medium-bodied, a bit of yeast, grainy overall.
