Definitely malty, but I think what goes awry here is that the hops destroy a lot of the qualities one might look for in a vienna. Im not too familiar with the style. I have had the Eliott Ness and it isnt this. Otherwise the appearance and the aroma are excellent. The taste is overhopped for a lager -- uh -- a vienna.

Pours a golden color with a little haziness in it and a giant foamy off white head. Aroma is citrus, bread, hops, caramel. This brew is light, hoppy, citrusy, malt, bitter yet easy drinking. Much better than expected.

Aug 26, 2008 12 oz bottle poured into a lager glass. Poured a clear gold with a huge sparse white head. Aroma was piney hops and some malt. Flavor is hoppy with a good malt balance. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Aug 26, 2008 Bottle. I love that Brooklyn’s flagship lager is a Vienna and not a pilsner. The aroma on this is fantastic, floral with citrus fruit and fresh breadiness. Nice extra hop bitterness for the style makes it a vienna standout. I taste caramel with a strong, lingering bitter finish. The head is still strong half way through drinking it.

Aug 25, 2008 Pour was golden with a white head. Citrus aroma and flavor. Some carbonation came through, I was not impressed by this at all. Found the beer to be little better than most macro brews.

Aug 22, 2008 Bottle from Vintage Cellar. Medium dark amber color with a large frothy beige head. Aromas of malt and lightly spicey hop. Near medium body with near creamy carbonation. Flavor is light caramel, and a touch of citrus sour - which might be the hop. It doesn’t finish all that bitter, but it is well balanced. It’s a very tasty drink.
