Style: Vienna
New Ulm, Minnesota USA

Serve in Lager glass

Pours a nice amber color. Nice sweet malt nose with a hint of hops. Taste is caramel, with mild hops and a touch of fruit.

Pours a yellowish amber color with longer lasting tan head. Aroma of grains, citrus and malt. Flavor of citrus malts with a hoppy background. Nothing offensive here.

Easy drinking and insubstantial lager. Sweet caramel malt flavor up front for about half a swallow, then it’s gone. Mild floral hopping. Does not offend me, if that helps.

Honey colored pour with a nice lasting cap of fine khaki head. Bready, citrus yeast quality to the aroma. Soft lightly tangy malt flavor, and a surprising amount of hop backbone. Creamy, clean and soft on the palate. Light bodied, but mouthfiling. A solid, but a bit muted Vienna.

From a 12 oz. long neck brown bottle with no freshness date and a coded lot/package number on the shoulder of bottle. There is a blurb about the beer on the back label. Poured a clear amberish copper with a small pale tan head that reduced to thin lacing and a minimal amount of sticking. Had a largely clean aroma, just whiffs of a toasted sweet maltiness and a little graininess. Moderate carbonation and a thin medium bodied mouth feel, modest drinkability. Taste was a little strange, at first a watery sweet caramel, then a slight hop twang followed by a lingering metallic dry finish, not that appealing. Modest drinkability, just an average Vienna Lager, kind of a disappointment.

pours a light brownish orangish color w/ visable carbonation and a nice small bubbled white head decent lacing. Fairly light aroma decent malty sweetness fairly plain some light grains. a touch roasty. palate is fairly coated lightly carbonated. flavor is lightly malty some roast flavors a touch of skunk to it and a light hop that I couldn’t really place in the finish. Ok.

A muddy orange with a off white head. Kind of like orange and brown mixed with the orange dominating in the appearance. Aroma is malty with that skunky pilsner smell. At first the beer seems malty, then moves to some hops, and ends with a lightly toasted bread malt taste. Very smooth, but bland.

A nice sweet aroma of malt introduces this beer. A reddish-bronze and a good full head are trademarks of this beer. This beer is neither thin nor thick as it displays a tingling malt taste to the palate on its way down the throat. It does have a nice lingering appeal.
