Made in a classic fashion: nutty Vienna malt, long aging, tender loving care. Full-flavored and toasty, yet finishing crisp and refreshing… silky, toasty, malty, delicious, perfect with just about any food.

16 oz. can. Light amber. Smells of some caramel malt, some cracker, light herbals, and a metallic aroma. Tastes of toasted malt, herbal hops, light caramel. Back end is a little rough, as it's got some cardboard bitterness that lingers into the the finish. Very light banana yeast flavors. Medium light. It drinks ok, but if I nitpick, it's got some problems.

Poured at fridge temp into a weizen glass.

Pours a very pretty and changing clear brass color with a lingering and sticky white head, and even left some nice lacing. 4.5

Gently sweet with some nice malty aroma. 4

Sweet, slightly nutty and a touch of toastiness. Malty with some accent hops. 4

Fairly dry finish, but nice and light as well. 4

Overall the color and appearance stood out to me the most though flavor and body were well balanced. 4

Pouring a cellar temp 16 oz can into my .5L dimple mug. Date stamp is 1/27/23. A soft fluffy, pillowy eggshell white head foams up about 3 cm and fades to a wispy surface covering after a few minutes. Very scattered lattice when I swirl the mug.
Beer pours a clear copper color with a few lazy streams of carbonation rising to the surface.
Aroma is some toasted grains and dark bread and only a little caramel. I do get a bit of an herbal hop note buried in the background. No hint of any ABV here.
First sip reveals a light to medium body with smooth texture and very fine and prickly carbonation. The carbonation foams up a lot in my mouth if I swirl the beer.
Flavor is similar to the nose advertisements. I get some toasted grain and multigrain bread not very sweet malts here. I do get a little lemon, which I often find in amberish lagers, and then the beer rolls to a slight bitter herbal tea bite. this bite also dries out my palate significantly. A well balanced lager with interesting flavors that keep me enjoying the beer until my mug is empty. nice beer!

Poured from 16oz can into a dimpled mug.

Appearance: medium golden hue with a clear body and a light effervescence. Head is a finger of frothy eggshell foam. Pretty!

Smell: malty with a nice level of toast and a fair bit of sweetness. There's a bit of caramel and graininess, and something that is a bit corn-y, though not overly so. A solid interpretation of the style.

Taste: a little sweet but with a substantial, though balanced, bitterness. Earthy hops along with the caramelly malt make for a tasty Vienna lager.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a good level of carbonation and a nice level of creaminess for the style.

Overall: a tastily drinkable Viennese treat.

Somewhat cloudy bronze body, full cream colored head with moderate lacing. Bready lager nose with toasty malts and earthy hops. Taste has more of the malt up front, but yeast is so well balanced in the rest of the sip, invoking flavors of toast, light grains, dough, simple earth and mild spiced hops. Crisp for style, more rustic leaning, malt and yeast really well balanced. This is an excellent Vienna lager!

16 oz can.

Pours a clear amber with a large sudsy off-white head. Good head retention. Leaves some clingy cobweb lacing.

Aromas of bread, caramel, toffee and faint spicy hops.

Flavor follows the nose with notes of sweet dough, toffee, caramel and very faint spicy hops on the finish.

The feel is medium bodied with good carbonation. Crisp and dry. Relatively smooth finish.

Overall, this is a good vienna lager. It's definitely on the sweeter side, and I think it could use a bit more hop bite, but it's solid all around.

4.18/5  rDev +5.3%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
Look: Crystal clear deep red with a nicely-formed head that rapidly settles to a film and leaving good lacing behind
Aroma: Toasted bread crust, raw dough, fresh baked bread, light toffee notes, wafts of floral hops, and some caramel
Taste: Bread, crust, and toffee rush onto the palate and begin to develop depth as raw bread dough starts to creep in and join. A nice floral hop bouquet appears after the initial malt punch with notes of mimosa, yellow azalea, and butterfly bush among others and closes with more toffee and bread
Mouthfeel: Full but light, very clean throughout, medium-high carbonation, and a crisp and clean finish
Overall: Another tasty lager from these folks and again, I’m not surprised at all. I love what these folks do and this Vienna Lager is well-made, delicious, and a great way to start off the evening. I could drink this every day, year-round, and be a happy man. Recommended

can into glass
Quite thick, small bubbled, white head. Clear, amber/orange look. Quite subtle, off-dry, medium caramelized roasted malt aroma, with a whiff of spice. Really enjoyable, medium toast malt and yeast flavor, with a good hop presence that lasts throughout the finish, and is fairly smooth and ample in mouthfeel.

16oz can into a pint glass. Canned 12/1/20, so 2 months old. Tavour purchase.

Looks nice in the glass. Crystal clear pale amber body. Small white head shrinks to a ring, a little lacing. Light streams of carbonation

Toasty sweet malt.

On tasting, very crisp and clean. Quite sweet. Malty goodness.

Mouth medium, finish malty with a faint edge.

Overall, really well brewed clean vienna lager. Goes down very easy.
