3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clear amber/copper body, creamy off-white head.
Fruity malt aroma. Kind of nice… almost like a fruitier maibock.
Smooth body, light sweet fruity malt. Light hop finish dries it out slightly.
Not a bad beer. Not a ton going on but pleasant.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12oz. bottle. Aroma is pretty slight, just some lightly toasted and caramel malt character, perhaps some barely discernible background fruitiness. Clear light-medium amber color with a fine, lasting head. Flavor consists of a light wash of brown sugar, nuttiness and accompanying light,spicy hop bitterness, finishing crisp in lager fashion, thankfully not overwhelmed by sweetness, in fact balanced fairly well but not pronounced or leaving much of an impression, somehow. Semi-dry and moderately effervescent on the palate with a light body. A very small amount of yeast appears here and there. Disappeared quickly and without much fanfare.
1.7 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
UPDATED: JAN 1, 2008 Not too bitter, but is very similar to pale yellow american beers. The label says all malt. Perhaps the flavor has a bit more than typical mass brewed. This is better than the adirondac saranac vienna I tasted recently. I think Auggie has a pretty good handle on flavor with his variations of ’Schell’ beers.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Orange in color with a light brownish tinge and a respectable head. Sweet malt and floral hop aroma is nice but a bit light. A decent roasted malt flavor with a nice hops background. A toasty smooth finish with a hint of bitterness rounds it out.
A good Vienna just a little light all around.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours out a clear amber colour with a mild-light white head. Scent is lightly sugary with an unusual musty smell. Taste is distinctively malty nested on a light hop backdrop with a mildly sweet finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Deep orange with lots of carbonation. Flowery hop smell. Toasty and very malty flavor with some earthiness to it. Very easy to drink.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottled. Poured a clear lighter shade of caramel with a rather short-lived cap of off-white head. Nose was sweet with lightly-toasted caramel and some floral hops. Flavor was about the same, but felt like there was some artificial sweetener in there... lightly-toasted caramel stuck a bit at the finish. Lighter-bodied and smooth... ’cept for the finish. Bitterness rose toward the end, leaving a citrus and floral impression. Powerfully mediocre brew.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
This orange/amber lager is a bit light on the aroma side, lightly roasted malt, caramel, a nutty bitterness. A bit watery, too. The aroma carries into the taste, finishing on a watery, sweet note with a trace of hops. Okay, I s’pose. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?
