This is our interpretation of a Vienna Lager. Amber-reddish in color, our goal was extreme balance between semi-sweet and bready malt flavors and a crisp, dry, noble hop taste. We think we succeeded. “Gift” is also a German word that directly translates to “Poison” in English.

Pours an effervescent & slightly chill-hazed amber/copper with one finger of cream colored head. Some head retention & lacing
S: Toastyness, a little Brown Bread; great nose
T: Follows the nose, some dryness & brown sugar & woody hops up front. Toastyness, a touch of Toffee as this beer warms up, plus leafy & woody hops & a little dryness, Finishes cakey/toasty with woody hops
MF: Medium body, fairly firm carbonation, lovely balance
Great take on the style, very drinkable

Im sampling a cellar temp 16 oz can date stamp is December 27 2022. Gotta add, that Tox is awesome for the paperboard 4 pak rings. Kudos for the non-plastic!!
I am pouring into my snifter.
The beer pours a perfectly clear chestnut color with no streams of carbonation and a eggshell white fizzy head of 1.5 cm. The foam fades to a sturdy surface covering.
Aroma is a bit of caramel and toasted wheat bread mixing with some lemon notes and a bit of grassy hop. No hint of the ABV.
First sip reveals a smooth texture and very fine tingly carbonation. Flavor is what the nose advertised, with caramel and toasted bread a bit of sweeter note and then again some lemon notes. Never any ABV hints and the lingering flavor is toasted bread.
Quite a nice easy drinking brew. Glad I picked up a 4 pack!
