Date: 08/30/08, 12 oz. bottle courtesy of Doboy
Aroma - Straw, grass, faint floral hops
Appearance - Bright, clear orange/gold, medium white head and some decent lace
Flavor - Solid malt base with light caramel and toffee, very subdued and indistinct bitterness is secondary
Palate - Light to medium body, medium carbonation, very slight stickiness
Overall - The typical maltiness of a Vienna, some good flavors, and a good representative of the style.

12oz bottle. Amber with a lasting head. Yeasty dough, lagerish, and lightly hoppy aroma. Toasty malt flavors with some sweet carame, and orange hoppy flavors. Medium-light body. Cool fruity flavors in a crisp and lightly hoppy lager, though it’s a bit sweet.

This is one of my favorite local beers. Great taste for the price and easy to find in Central Virginia stores!

On tap at The Biltmore in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a dark orange with minimal to no head. Light carbonation with caramel and some orange aroma. Bittersweet flavor, but smooth finish. Not too bad.

Had this on a warm summer evening outside at a bar on a deck. Had nice color to it, a deep amber color. Poured a lite colored head with some lacing. to it. It was tough to tell the clarity of the beer, since it was outside they gave it too me in a plastic cup, but from what I could tell I think the clarity would have been good. Smelled fairly balanced not too hoppy. It tasted pretty good. I again not overly hoppy, could tast some roasted malts to it. Went down pretty smooth, was very drinkable, I’d get it again, or try more from this brewery if I had the opportunity.

Ok beer I think it is too hoppy and not dark enough in color to be considered a lager. Taste and looks I would call it a light hop pale ale but a tasty one at that.

UPDATED: JUN 22, 2007 This lager was tasted at the Richbrau Beer Festival at the Canal. It was the best lager of the festival. Starr Hill Brewer Nate Sadler was at the event. The beer pours to an amber with a nice head. The beer is very similar to Traditional Lager by Yuengling
