The Drowned Lands

Can into Nucleated Pilsner Glass (Canned na)

Look: Cloudy dark yellow-golden, pouring a 1 finger frizzy head which quickly dissipated into a ring with a few whisps
Smell: Caramel, toasty malt, touch nutty, yeast, lemon zest, and a earthy grass hops. Med-weak nose
Taste: Toasted bready malt, sweet caramel, with a hint of lemon. Some light yeast and with a lightly bitter hoppy bitterness. Finish is clean, with a mellow toasted bready malt slowly fading
Feel: Medium-light bodied, moderate carbonation, clean, creamy texture
Overall: Good brew, not my favorite vienna lager though

16 oz can

pours a slightly cloudy dark golden color- white head, good head retention. aroma of bready malt and mild earthy hops. similar taste, starts a little doughy and sweet but finishes with some hop bitterness to balance. medium bodied, slick mouthfeel

 

Not super impressed. Light straw color. Notes of some type of barley or grain. Just tastes like what I think of as a stadium beer. I wouldn’t go for it again.

I had this on draft 1/30/24 @ the Hopleaf.

Mostly see-through dull orange appearance.

Small white head; frothy, tree-rung lacing remained.

Mild lemon & cereal grain notes in the nose.

Medium mouthfeel.

Lemon, honey & cereal grain flavors.

A bit sweet but a nice lager. I'd have another.

This one pours a fairly toasty looking golden brown, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This also smells toasty, with a touch of spice and breadiness.

This is really solid Vienna lager, but it doesn’t have quite the pop that a lot of Drowned Lands beers have. It’s just workmanlike, and dependable, and drinkable – which is completely valid. Not every beer needs to blow you away.

This is light bodied, toasty, and creamy, with a great drinkability.

I really love this brewery, and this is another really solid beer from them.

From Brewvana. 12 days of Christmas.

No dating on the 16 ounce can.

It pours a bubbly, crystal clear pale gold with an inch of foam once it settled down. It does have some decent lacing.

The smell is some grainy slightly sweet malt with a nice hoppy aroma that reminds me of noble hops.

The taste is very well balanced with the hops, perhaps, leading the way. I love Vienna Lagers and this tastes and feels very authentic.

I'm drinking this near room temperature so all the flavours are right there. More sips in and the hops seem to grow more boldly but it still retains the grain and now, toasted malt.

Still on the light side palate wise, carbonation is just right.

This is something special and I am so glad that I got to try it.
