3.2/5 rDev -17.7%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3
Murky bronze-orange with churning effervescence and a finger-and-a-half of off-white head. Great retention and thick lacing.
Sweet, citrusy, floral aroma — sort of like an APA.
Weird mix of graininess, pear, melon and lime up front in the taste, followed by earthy, tea-like bitterness in the finish.
Full bodied for the style with moderate carbonation.
Maybe an IPL, not a Vienna Lager. I would have guessed English IPA if tasting it blind. There’s some interesting grain profile, but it’s stepped on by incongruent hops. Mugly looking, smelling and tasting.

Blind review:
16 oz can poured into a wine glass
A- A hazy copper with a two finger white head. 3.75
S- Citrus, piney, slightly floral, some peaches and pale malts. 4
T- Citrus, papaya, a little piney/floral, touch of pale malts, slightly sweet. 4.25
M- Smooth, medium body. 4
O- Tastes like a nice NEIPA, hops are aggressive but nicely balanced. 4
After thoughts after seeing the beer:
I will say the hopping is pretty heavy for a Vienna lager, I don’t really get much of the oak foeder coming through, but between that and the lager yeast I feel it helps me enjoy the flavors that you wouldn’t find in a NEIPA I like thought it was.

16 FL OZ can
Served in a pilsner glass
This beer pours amber and hazy. It is topped with a large off white head that leaves great lacing.
The smell is light grain and sweetness. I also get light lemon lime hops.
The flavor follows the aroma. It is mild flavored. The citra comes through to make a pleasant flavor.
Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel
This is an easy drinker for sure. I like the citra flavor.

A - Pours a hazy amber with a two finger creamy white head. Good amount of soapy lacing.
S - Aroma is orange, lime, grapefruit and dank hops.
T - The taste is orange, papaya, lime, grapefruit, bready malts and piney hops.
M - Medium/heavy body with medium carbonation. Soft mouthfeel with a crisp dry finish.
O - This is an interesting beer. Drinks like a mix between a Vienna lager and a NEPA. Still really tasty.
