12 oz twist off bottle. It pours an amber/orange, like an oktoberfest. The smell is clean with a big grainy smell. There is a hint of diacetyl in the smell, it smells buttery. The taste is very basic, the diacetyl is still there though. It is basic and grainy. This beer is about as basic as it gets, with little flavor. Like a watered down butterier oktoberfest beer.

Not much of an aroma but pleasantly surprising taste. Full-bodied warming beer. Great beer to enjoy in front of a fireplace.

Amber pour with some fading off-white head. Watery nose with a hint of malt. Rancid watery malt body with no hops.

Pour a copper light red color with no appreciable head. Nose is nothing but grainy and metallic, a lager of course !Nothing but a tasteless and flvorless brew, but I am a lager hater, still trying to develop a taste for these flavorless, boring beers. All I can say is more HOPS. But it will rate it keeping in ming it is what it is..........A LAGER ! Quaff Score 4 / 10

zgaier (694) - Coral Springs, Florida, USA - APR 14, 2013
Pours copper with a small beige head and aroma of roasted malt and caramel. Taste is light, of toasted malt, grains, caramel, and bread notes with a medium finish. Light and not much flavor, but then again it’s a lager

fidelis83 (1589) - Clinton, Iowa, USA - APR 3, 2012
Pours a clear coppery amber with a 2 finger, creamy, fluffy offe white head. Aroma is toast, buttery toffee, floral, white bread crust, spicy hops and a light mineral note. Flavor is toast, nutty malt, buttery toffee, cereal grain, earthy, palnty hops and some booziness. Palate is light to medium bodied, dry, but oily throughout, much more dry toward the finish, but always pretty oily and has a light to moderate, but sharp carbonation. Not bad for a Vienna, but it’s rare that I enjoy a Vienna all that much. Way too buttery.

legion242 (1999) - Richardson, Texas, USA - APR 24, 2002
Pale copper color; Fluffy head- looks like whipped cream; Nose has cornmeal and cinnamon?. Am I missing something here? Tastes heavily of adjuncts. Very Malt-Liquor like.
