Smoke'n Hops "Vienna Lager"
on tap at the brewery on 6 November 2015
$4 for a mug club "pint"

A clear, deep amber body is capped by a medium-sized head of off-white that holds fairly well before dropping to a creamy collar. It leaves behind some nice splashes and spots of lacing. The nose is gently malty, and a touch toasty. There's a very minimal fruitiness to it coming from the Vienna malts but you have to look to find it. The body is medium and it's lightly crisp in the mouth. The flavor displays the 'juicy' malt that Vienna style lagers are known for. It's lightly fruity (red berries) and toasty. The bitterness is restrained as expected, but firm enough to balance, and it finishes dry with some lingering toasty malt and fruit. Very well done; very clean. A highly enjoyable lager that satisfies. It offers enough full flavor and complexity to maintain interest while still remaining quite drinkable. Nicely done... not a lot of brewers can pull this one off quite as effectively as they tend to use the wrong malts or over-do it in general.
