Generally referred to as “Pre-Prohibition Lager” in today’s beer lingo, the Vienna Lager’s defining characteristic is its toasted malt flavor, which suggests crusty bread and fresh baked biscuits. While tried-and-true German noble Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops impart a blend of spice, citrus, and wildflowers, we can’t resist adding our own Scratch Beer twist by dry-hopping with Australian Vic Secret hops to release an added dimension of tropical fruit and pine notes.

Had on-tap at the source. Served in a tall pokal/stange.

4.5 A: Clear medium orange color. Two fingers of creamy white head. Retention is good and one finger of dense lacing is left.

3.5 S: Lots of Troegs earthy terroir in here. Earthy hops, grainy and crackery malts. On the drier side.

3.0 T: Quite bitter for style, but still in the moderate range overall. Earthy and dry. Grain malts again. Just okay.

3.0 M: Light to lighter medium body. Carbonation on the higher side. Also lacking creaminess.

2.75 D: Let's just keep this one as a scratch.
