4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: OCT 29, 2009 Poured from bottle into a Pint glass bearing the logo of a competitive Minnesota brewery. Clear, light copper with fairly thin head and no lacing. Toasted and caramel malt aroma with a nice spicy noble hop counterbalance. Fantastic toasted malt character, with notes of caramel and fruit. Finishes with a mild spicy bitterness. Moderately high carbonation with a clean, medium body. Nice dry finish. Overall, a refreshing beer that actually works for all seasons. Fantastic Vienna overall, and this is what I compare all other Viennas to. SA Boston Lager is great as well, but not a true Vienna.
2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours dark amber, with a orangeish tinge. Malty flavor very light and very carbonated and medium head. Has an apple caramel flavor.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Dark amber to medium brown color, highly carbonated with a frothy light brown head. Good looking. Caramel and molasses rich malt aroma with a touch of banana and peach. A very sweet smell that leaves no room for hops. The taste is deep malt but surprisingly not nearly as sweet or fruity as the aroma lets you believe. The flavor is chocked with a good amount of hops to dry the beer up. A very impressive and complex quality "red" malt lager.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a bright orange-red color with small white head. Sweet malt aroma, a little corn, grass and caramel. Drinking this reminds me why I like Vienna’s...good balance of sweet malt and bitter hop bite. This vienna has a light-medium mouthfeel, some grassy hops, corn, caramel, maybe a hint of apple cider. This is a good vienna, highly drinkable, good flavor.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours a deep and true amber/ brown color. The aroma is mostly sweet, like a normal vienna. There is great balance, though mostly malts. Overall, it is enjoyable but nothing spectacular.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a clear, highly carbonated, amber color with a reddish brown color with a thin white head. Aroma is a sweet malt with some apple notes, light citrus notes and nice vienna and caramel malt notes. Flavor has a nice biting malt note, light dryness to it, a light citrus and spicy hops note and ends with a smooth sweet caramel taste. Pretty light in body and it goes down pretty easy. Overall a pretty good brew, a bit on the light side for the styling but would definitely buy again.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap at Majors. Deep copper color and a faint malty aroma. Medium mouthfeel, with the malt again coming through as the main flavor for me. Decent beer, I’ll drink it again.
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 3/20
Pours a orangish color with a small, quickly diminishing head. sugary apple and weak hop aroma. Flavor is like rhubarb and dirt. Kinda nasty really. Molasses and oat mouthfeel. dirty floor aftertaste. Really all dirty malt, for you malt heads out there.
