floral almost nutty aroma, pours with a dark cloudy-ish copper hue, moderate head, decent lacing, hoppy and fresh taste, slightl flowery, enjoyable and refreshing.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 DrGonzo (625) - Somerville, Massachusetts, USA - APR 6, 2003
On tap, this is an all around good and easy to drink beer. Well balanced with a decent amount of hops, has a slight honey taste. Pretty good lager from a great brewery.

A fairly good beer.
Relatively hoppy with a berrylike aroma. Tasty stuff.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 ConiseurofBeer (242) - Downingtown, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 11, 2003
Sweet malt nose, reddish amber pour with a dark white head. Suprising amount of head for a lager. The flavor is laden with light hops malt and fruity undertones. Good for an american lager. I was pleasently suprised.

UPDATED: AUG 14, 2005 Pretty ale-like for a lager, this brew matched their Pennant ale’s fruity esthers but has a more rounded, soft profile. A clean finish makes this a smooth drinking brew. Overall a bit boring, but certainly drinkable in a pinch.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 argo0 (9224) - Washington DC, USA - MAR 8, 2003
UPDATED: JUL 15, 2003 Clear amber with medium of-white head. The aroma is sweet, floral, some bready. Taste is medium sweet, floral, some tart. Finish is light grassy and floral. Mild bitterness. Has a medium body -- readily drinkable, and a real delight. Great lager for an anti-lager person.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 IslandHaole (1060) - Yokosuka-Shi, Kanagawa-Ken, JAPAN - FEB 25, 2003
Nice copper color, very malty nose. A sweet iced tea taste. Some have commented on the hoppiness, I found it underhopped for my taste but as this is a Vienna, I guess it is to style. Not bad but doesn't knock your socks off either.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Ungstrup (23922) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - FEB 18, 2003
A deep red beer with a fine slightly orange head. Very lovely fruity aroma with sweet malt notes. The flavor lacks a little compared to the aroma - a little watery to start off, but then a sweet nice bitterness hits the back of the tongue and lingers for a long time. A very nice lager.

Like the Brown Ale, smooth and full, with bold head, but hoppy with little aftertaste.
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 nigos (623) - Sheffield, South Yorkshire, ENGLAND - FEB 16, 2003
Malty nose. Cooper hue with a large head. Dry hopped taste that is watery. Very little after taste. Not very inspiring at all.
