Style: Vienna

Serve in Lager glass

dark copper. light scent flavor of malt and chocolate toffee. Not strong but tasty  sweeter than Mexican varieties

A: The pour is a dark amber color with a couple fingers of creamy, khaki colored head. S: Nice aroma of toasted bread, toffee, and light caramel. There is definitely some lager yeast in there and a touch of earthiness I would assume comes from the hops. Perhaps a light floral note as well. T: More of the same as I take a drink. Nice toasted malt flavor with a really substantial breadiness. Moderately sweet with some toffee. There is a subtle earthiness to the beer and some yeastiness. A very mild bitterness. M: Medium in body with a nice crisp carbonation. O: Quite refreshing and rather pleasant to drink. One of the better Taps beers I can recall having. Solid stuff.

Clear copper with a fizzy white head. Nice sweet malty aroma and a sweet creamy vanilla taste.

Tap at the Corona location. Dark brown pour.Roasted malt aroma, but on the light side of the roast scale. Flavor was light roast as well, like putting ice cubes in coffee. Very drinkable and pretty damn good too.

Chestnut brown brew with little head. Malty, caramel nose. Medium/light body with a burnt toast aspect to it. Very little in the way of hop bitterness. A decent brew to session with.

I don’t remember this beer too well, but I do remember a very carbonated mouthfeel which was slightly thin. Was crisp with the finish but left a bad sweet aftertaste.
