2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Light orange-brown (dull copper) body, thin off-white head. Aroma of toffee and fig, thin and acidic, even soapy, with toasty notes. Thin, lightly tart body with notes of tobacco, toast, and fig. Decent complexity for such a thin beer, but the watery body and acidity are underwhelming.

Amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of malt and grain with a touch of apple peel. Sweet caramel flavour again with a bit of apple

Lightly hazed copper color with a moderate light beige head. Caramel and spaghettio aromas. Something about the sweetness and toasted malt smells that come together and for the Chef Boyardee nose that do not make this very appealing. Not a real DMS scent, just an oddity. Thinner feel with light caramel, dried fruit, pipe tobacco and toasted rye flavors. Some grassy hops in the middle. A thin vienna.

(0,33cl bottle) 202 Advent Calendar. Pours a quick dissipating off-white head atop a clear light brown body. Nose of bready malt. Decent carbonation, nice mouthfeel and good enough flavour...

330mL bottle, pours a clear amber with a small beige head. Nose is of sweet treacly, caramel malts, toasted nuts, bread, and some honey-ish accents. Flavour is fairly light, with the same treacly caramel malts and honey notes dominating, but they are very weak. A bit of bread as well. Kind of sweet, but the body is not strong enough for it to come through much. Decent, inoffensive beer, but nothing special.

On tap at guinness time, Nibbia, Italy.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Advent Calendar #17. Starting to bounce around now. In my mind this is not in the top 13% of Viennas, there was very little toasty flavour, like Duffman I did find it a bit metallic, but most importantly it was just weak. Mildly refreshing, but if I wanted that I’d go for a Dortmunder.

Bottle. -Golden color with small white head. Aroma almost nothing with hints of malt. Taste, malty with notes of caramel. Simple beer.

..pours translucent copper with no head..aroma of sweat, over-ripe fruit, and brown sugar..flavor is a slightly sickly sweet sugar mess that somehow still seems slightly watered down...(hows the alliteration?)--- this beer is so damn awful i had to think of some fun way to rate it--my advice would be to stay away from both Austria, and this beer of theirs

Bottle, Dec. 17th Beer Adent Calendar. Clear medium amber colour with an average white head. The character of this beer is sweet grains that are equally lightly bready and lightly toasty. Metallic note in the finish. WTF? A lot of these euro lagers possess a distinct metallic aftertaste to me. I’ve been blaming the nobel hops, but I don’t know. Another "whatever" beer for me.
