Golden pale colour, light toffee & fruity flavour almost like appletizer. Minimal bitterness. Sweet and malty, not really any lager qualities.

Drink cold (8-10°) Eye: pours a golden color with a small and quickly dissipating white head Nose: hops and metal, nuts Mouth: honey and hops Palate: hops and nuts and a bit watery, metal in the end. Overall: decent beer but nothing special

AnonUser54728 (2849) - - JAN 13, 2014
Aroma: Medium-light malt (bread, toasty) aroma, light hops (spicy) aroma. Appearance: Hazy copper body. Thin off-white head. Flavour: Bread, toasty. Medium sweetness, medium-light bitterness, crisp Palate: Medium body. Soft by high carbonation. Overall: Drinkable. A bit sweet for me, but it is fairly well to style. 340 ml bottle, poured. Thanks Amanda! 3A. Vienna Lager

Very drinkable. Not birkenhead’s best, but great on a hot summer’s lunchtime. The naysayers must have got a bad batch...

Oakes (30657) - Richmond, British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 16, 2012
Light amber colour. Fairly full malt aroma with a light honeyish sweetness and a biscuity note. Clean, sweet, with some deliberate toasty notes.

2.7
Beershine (5277) - Miami, Florida, USA - OCT 17, 2012
Draft at restaurant near brewery and also at brewery Amber gold. The aroma is all toasty malt. Body is sweet with a peppery hop middle. Would very much prefer a crisper finish. It is too sweet but drinkable.

UPDATED: NOV 6, 2011 Bottle 340 ml as Special edition. A clear golden colour with a small white head. An aroma of malt, brad and yeast. The taste is sweet. A light body, watery texture, soft carbonation and a medium long finish.
