This was one of the largest beer-teases the brewery committed...I remember one batch that yielded a dozen barrels that disappeared in less than two weeks, and was never brewed again. Delicious flavor, like a lighter version of their Rita Red Ale, not quite as malty and drinkable year-round. I miss you!!!

On tap at Vista location. Color was brigth gold. Aroma of fruit, apple and bread. Slightly sweet. Flavor was sweet and fruity. Apple as well. A bit one dimensional, but pretty tasty.

Tap at La Quinta brewpub: clear golden yellow body. Aroma is malt dominated. Lotsa cereal and bread. But hops? This was like an imperial Budweiser. How they call this a Vienna is beyond me.
