650ml bottle - thanks to my internet pal Lee for sending a few samples from his brother's brewing concern my way!
This beer pours a clear, bright medium bronzed amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, broadly foamy, and fairly bubbly beige head, which leaves some stringy dissolving snow rime lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of grainy and biscuity caramel malt, a touch of sweeter toffee, pleasantly muddled dark orchard fruit, and mild earthy, leafy, and floral hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, bready and grainy caramel malt, further biscuity toffee notes, a hint of astringent yeast, some tame hard water flintiness, late-arriving toasted breakfast cereal, and a still reserved earthy, leafy, and grassy hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite engaging in its tongue-tingling fizzy and frothy alternations, the body a decent middleweight, and generally smooth, the hops not exactly in a testy or interfering sort of mood, it would seem. It finishes off-dry, with a nice pas de deux of biscuity malt and coy noble hops.
I gotta say, I rather quite like it when I try an example of a style that has never really blown up my metaphorical skirt (ok, I once wore a kilt, but that's another story), and it just works, all of a sudden. I'm not actually sure that anybody can say what a Vienna Lager should really be (save your letters), but the definition could take a few suggestions from this one.
