Vienna Lager
Rosenstadt Brewery

Poured from 16oz can into a dimpled mug. Canned 1/15/26.

Appearance: nice golden-orange hue with a clear body and a head of frothy ivory foam atop.

Smell: malt is just a little bit sweet with some toasty and lightly biscuity quality to it. There's also a soft yeastiness, which is nice, but the biscuity notes of the malt are not my favorite.

Taste: a little bit sweeter than the aroma, with kind of a richer maltiness, but those same biscuity notes which aren't my favorite. It's got a cleaner flavor than the aroma, too, with less yeastiness and a nice hopping level.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent carbonation and creaminess.

Overall: this is actually a pretty solid Vienna lager, and I could see a lot of people really liking it. The malt profile just isn't particularly to my taste, though.

Look: Clear copper in color and my pour kicks off a lively off-white head that forms quickly, holds, and settles to a lid, leaving good lacing behind
Aroma: Freshly baked bread, toasted bread, toffee, raw dough, floral hops, and a little melanoidin
Taste: Whoa. This one begins with a huge bready malt rush that includes bread, dough, toast, lightly toasted grains, and layers of malt sweetness as well. Floral hops cut into the malt sweetness and marries well with it through the close
Mouthfeel: Full but light, very clean throughout, medium-high carbonation, and a clean and lightly crisp finish
Overall: This is an outstanding beer. I’m a sucker for Viennas and have enjoyed these folks’ beers a couple of times so really wanted to try this and am already kicking myself for just grabbing a single. Immensely deep in malt aroma and flavor, just the right amount of floral hoppiness, and a killer mouthfeel really catapult this into the upper echelon of stateside-made Vienna lagers in my opinion. Highly enjoyable and recommended
