20oz pint, the current rotating/seasonal tap. Kickin' it solo and old-school for a while on my lazy-dazy b-day.

This beer appears a crystal clear, medium gleaming copper hue, with one finger of foamy ecru head, which disperses fairly quickly, leaving a low bumpy rise of painted lace around the glass.

It smells of sweet, bready, and somewhat biscuity malt, a tinge of caramel, a bit of soft orange/tangerine citrus, and mild earthy hops. The taste is more sweet caramel biscuit malt, a slice of toffee cake, some understated, jam-worthy orange fruitiness, and more leafy and earthy hoppiness.

The bubbles are present in a pleasantly functional capacity, the body renders a decently solid middleweight, and is slickly, if a tad oily at the same time, smooth. It finishes definitely off-dry, the edgy caramel malt carrying the day, however well tempered by the struggling citrus and leafy hops.

I thought this was a strange name for a beer of this style, but after further consideration, it seems adequate enough - it is very much a Vienna Lager, and a capable one at that, with the 'Cascadian' tendencies dialed back to an agreeable level, one which does not mess with the base biscuity goodness. Cheers to that.
