Bottle (12oz). Clear bright refractive coppery amber pour with an average fizzy white head (3+). Half-decent cereal grain aroma, mild herbal hop bitterness. The taste is nice and toasty - slightly oily, tangy roast malt, low-level dry herbal hops, somewhat minerally in the finish. Average body, solid carbonation, astringent and slightly dry in the linger. Good, simple.

Draft pint at Dotty’s in Madison. Last drink on the trip before I ended up sick as death around 6 hours later and we gave up on the last two days and just drove home. Has a ruby, bright orange color. Tangy, spicy winter witbier is what I first thought, I don’t exactly know why. It has some spicy Belgian ale qualities, and also some spicy orange and coriander notes like a witbier, but with a twang of alcohol. I understand this sounds like complete rubbish given that this is supposed to be a 5.4% Vienna, but hey, that’s what I tasted.

Pours a standard amber with a good thick head which quickly dissipates. Aroma of strong hops and wheat/grass. Taste was of definite hops. Pretty good balance of hops for this brew. A good standard

UPDATED: JUN 16, 2008 12oz bottle-An amber body with a nice one finger head which has an aroma of roasted malt, a little hops, and a little grassy. Taste was amostly malty with some faint hops and a bit grassy on this light body. Not a big fan of this style but a nice tasting brew.

(Bottle) Pours an amber color with a small white head and good lacing. Solid malty aroma. Tastes includes some hazelnut, lots of toffee, and some roasted malts. Nice body. Nothing too complex or over-the-top, but a pretty solid brew.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a clean golden color with a bit of lacing. Aroma is slightly lemon grassy hops, and a bit soapy. Taste is lemon, slightly hoppy, and finishes nutty. Very refreshing but I wouldn’t think of this when thinking about a winter seasonal. Seems like a GREAT summer brew.

On tap at the Gun Club Restaurant in Beloit. Pours a hazy amber color with a meduim off white head. Aroma of caramel, roasted malts. Tastes of toffee, roasted malts, nuts, and a slight hint ofhops. Not bad but nothing spectacular either.
