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.

Pours a dark, clear amber with a bubbly off-white head. Not much to smell, and light carbonation. Taste is slightly bitter and almost soapy with a hint of grass in the finish Satisfying but average.

pours an amber color with a descent off white bubbly head. aroma is light malt and very light piney hops. flavor is the same as aroma but a little stronger with descent lacing. i probably should have had this before the odell isolation as this one was a lot lighter. all in all a descent session beer but not the best viena i have had.

2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle at Minneapolis Beer Fest. Kind of the definition of an average beer - clear amber pour, some light malt and caramel in here, fairly light palate - not offensive, not interesting, just kind of there.

2.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
This beer is really pretty decent, but still nothing much to it. I like some more complexity.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
pours ruby-amber with a thin off-white head. nose is fruity with caramel, brown sugar, plum, toast, and spice. flavor is roasted malts, brown sugar, light bitter hops, and toast. finish is long, with a dry bitterness develops as it sits on the tongue. Initial mouthfeel is a little too bubbly for my taste, though.
