2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12oz bottle. Pours a nice clear amber with a light lacing. Smells quite fresh but very mild, light aroma of hops and malt but sweet (some caramel). Get a taste of corn syrup initially but then a balanced hoppy lager, although finish leaves an off taste on the palate. Decent for the style but just not a fan.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle into a pils glass. Unexpectedly dark pour; sort of a light amber colour with minimal almost white head. Nutty and lemony on the nose with a slightly roasted malt note. A little sweet on the entry, but a good crisp body with a long lightly bitter finish that holds on to that lemony zest.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Colour is golden orange more akin to a pae ale than a lager. Maly noise with notes of earthy hops. Flavour is malty and finishs dry. Leaves you wanting to take another slurp. A really good sessionable lager.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
12oz bottle. Light amber appearance, hazy, minimal white head. Nice, nutty aroma. Crisp texture. Bready aroma, good aftertaste. Good aroma for a lager, but if this is a good lager, then I guess I’m not really a fan of the style. (now that I’m logging the rating, I guess it’s actually a vienna). Decent beer, but meh overall.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: MAY 12, 2011 Decent lager but I was hoping for more. Beautiful dark gold appearance with a small head that leaves quickly. Hops balence the malt but I was expecting a bit more malt backbone to this vienna lager. Glad I tried it, probably wont buy again (and I like viennas), and rather disapointing. Brooklyn Brewery just entered our market so the beer is fresh (reasonably so) but it might be a victim of traveling halfway across the country.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear amber pour with a good amount of carbonation and a lasting tan head. A very hoppy lager. Caramel toasted malt with notes of bread and honey. Lightly sweet with a bitter hoppy finish. Decent lager.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled. Lovely dark amber beer, rich malt body, properly balanced by dry hops. Full flavour, far better than most macro lagers.
