Amber shade with a small but lasting head. Very sweet malty taste with a very slight roasted character. Bittering hops hit you towards the end, which are followed by what reminded me of a dirty sock-like taste. Overall, this was mediocre with a capital M.

A rerate of this beer after a year...fresh sample from the brewery. Poured a nice copper-amber color...rocky head, some lacing, fairly well carbonated. The nose is very good on this one: Caramel and toasted malts, sweetness and light herbal tone ( this smells a tad sweet for a proper Vienna), Front side is lightly caramel sweet some toasty malts, then a light woody-herbal descernement from the hops.... then the body and finish leaves you dangling...wet but clean with light sweet bready after taste. This was a tease beer for me...it has so much potential...I want to see a well made local Vienna but Amsterdam got half way there then they wimped out with their typical watery mouth feel and light palate....lose the sweet caramel, put some more toasted malt substance and real noble hop presence in this beer and it could be great....as it is now it’s a mild drinkable pleasant malty beer with limited character but lots of potential..

Not too bad, but nothing great. Has a nice amber colour, a bit too sweet with nice bit of hops. Aftertaste is a bit unpleasant.

Deep amber/chestnut appearance. Pleasing raisin bread aroma and nice, refreshing palate. While the flavour would benefit from being bigger and richer, there’s a smooth malt feel and an aftertaste of watered-down chocolate milk that isn’t distasteful. Inoffensively drinkable.
