Appearance: Clear dark amber, good head.
Smell: Oxidized, cardboardy
Taste: Mild sweetness leads into caramel. Stays with caramel through the finish. Seems foamy.
Overall: Resort beer, looks like Heineken Mexico supplies this resort so will work through them. Bohemia doesn’t smell great and doesn’t quite hit the usual Vienna lager notes but is pretty decent.

A very malty example of a Vienna Lager with lovely nutty tones and a great mouthfeel that is silky, and creamy. A nice beer to have with food but also by itself.

Bottle purchased and drank at Contramar in Mexico City, Mexico.
This one pours a medium amber color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells mildly toasty, with some caramel, graininess, and nuttiness.
I love the various dark lagers that have become synonymous with Mexico, so I’ve always been interested in trying this one. It’s nicely toasty and nutty, but finishes light on the palate. There’s really no hop character. It feels like a toastier slightly bolder version of Yuengling to me.
This is light bodied, crisp, clean, and very drinkable.
I think the regular Bohemia is slightly better, but this was still very enjoyable.

Bohemia "Vienna" bottle in Mexico in August, 2022. This is a handsome beer that I expected to be in the same quality league as the "Pilsener" I had already sampled. I was disappointed; I think this beer is below the standard set by Bohemia Pilsener. It could just be a variation on XX amber (both made by Heineken). It reminds me of some OK ambers including Yuengling Lager.
