One of the best Italian beers. Although it tries to pass for an Irish Ale, in my opinion is a good example of how a Vienna should be.

OlJuntan64 (1266) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - AUG 3, 2004
Poured a medium copper amber brown under a smallish shortish lasting pale yellow head. Medium molasses malty sweet aroma with some fruitiness (peach?) as it warms. Medium bodied, slightly cloying on the sides of the mouth but not too bad. Medium strong biscuit and sweet molasses start. Light bitter roasted malt middle moving to medium bitter and back to sweet at the finish. Like jbrus says, makes a real change from all the fizzy yellow stuff you normally see in Italia!
