On tap at the Houston brewery. Oh I just found my old review of a Holler Vienna Lager, called Well Isn't That Spezial...From the description I gave in that review, these seem similar but a few things to note: Holler wasn't calling it a Vienna Lager, that was just the best style to put it under here, and the malt character is much more expressive and in line with what I like, at least IMO.
A: Pours a hazy pale yellow/orange color. A two finger white head forms and recedes quickly. Light lace is left behind. Hmm...never had a hazy pale Vienna Lager...interesting, maybe.
S: A light bread aroma. Orange and citrus rind/pith is light but noticeable. Not much more I can add. Like the Pils, this is odd.
T: Bread and sweetness. Hoppy fruity orange and citrus rind is light but there. What is this? Not any Vienna Lager I have had.
M/O: A medium body with good carbonation. Finishes smooth. Not hard to drink, again something I would gladly come back to over some of their other offerings.
At first wondering if they poured me the wrong beer on accident. Though this is their Vienna Lager. Not saying there are no traditional pale examples (honestly I don't know, I'm sure there are), just that Urban South is not the kind of brewery to do their due diligence on style guidelines. Let alone, you never really know what you are getting with this style in particular when American breweries attack it, as it could just as easily be a Dos Equis clone. Considering the light but distinct citrus hops I'm getting, this is at odds with anything I have had from the style. As a lighter receptacle for alcohol consumption that doesn't resemble a Minute Maid fruit juice, or a marshmallow stout, not bad. Just average.
