A little light colored for a Red Vienna Lager, but not a bad beer.
Crisp, well balanced and darn good to drink.
Nothing to complain about.
A great all round brew.

Pleassntly surprised with this one not the typically overbearing deep red flavor, this one drank easy and flavorful. Perhaps Vienna reds sll drink this well, a pleasure for me over past dark red ales.

On tap at Iron Hill, Rehoboth, DE.
Pours a clear amber color with a moderate foam head that yields frothy lacing.
The aroma opens with sweet bready malts along with a touch of fruity hops that evoke orchard fruit. Other aromatics include toasty amber malts, caramel and toffee and floral hops.
The taste is bright, clean and with a crisp mouthfeel. Medium bodied along with moderately lively carbonation. The malt sweetness is well balanced by spicy and earthy hops that provide a gentle spicy bitterness. Malt flavors of caramel, bread, toast and dry cracker pair well with fruity, floral and grassy hops flavors. The finish is crisp and clean.
Good example of the style, straightforward and finely crafted.

On tap at the semi-newly opened up location in Hershey.
Poured into a lager glass.
The appearance was a nice looking crisp ruddy amber color with a small top of a little white foamy head. This slid off to leave some mild lace.
The aroma had some crisp sweet roasted nuts, smooth sweet caramel and a touch of toffee flowing into some grassy to earthy hops.
The flavor was mostly copied the aroma towards a sweet and roasty character involving a little bit of toast. Subtle aftertaste of smooth crisp toasty nuts and caramel.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Great carbonation for the style and the ABV felt as where it should. Smooth finish of crisp nuts, caramel, toast and a grassy earthy character.
Overall, as a Vienna lager, I would endorse this and welcome back again.
