This is an awesome beer. Don’t know why it is so short in the ratings. I have sampled an array of German beers and this is very distinct. Almost Belgian in influence. Like oak casts. Must be tried to be appreciated.

This is a nice, interesting vienna that actually seems to be crossed with a pilsner. It is lighter/golden amber with a medium off-white head that is long lasting and leaves some fairly good, thin lace. The aroma is sweetish, mildly caramelly and leaf-like malt and dough with pine and herb hops and a hint of sulphur; very nice. The taste is similar, a little earthy, carmale malt body with lots of herbal, grassy hop flavour; tingly, with a light, persistent bitterness that just dominates the sweetish body. It is lighter than many viennas, but has a lot more hop character than usual, reminiascent of pilsners, with great balance between the elements. It is very drinkable.

Sweet and spicy with a firm malty body. Crisp and well-balanced. All in all a very pleasant beer.

Had an old bottle I guess a while ago and gave it a 3/5. Recently on tap at Deep Ellum and this beer damn near blew me away. .4 liter mug. Pours a bright clear coppery light amber with a massive fluffy lasting white cloudy head. Aroma is nicely sweet tons of Vienna and munch toasty fresh malts bready, adn a touch of light floral herbal hallertauer hops. Beautifully smooth full doughy fresh malt flavor, bready pils behind a nice fresh vienna lightly burnt toast, slight toffee, nuts and light floral and zesty hop notes towards the slightly bitter finish. Damn smooth and easy to drink- went great with my breakfast. Great beer, although i cant say this tasted like any other vienna in the world. More like a mix between a dunkel and a helles I guess?

Pours a hazy copper colour with a massive, rich foamy head. Sweet, fruity malt aroma. A fine malty taste withsome caramel notes, mild hops and a kind of fruty finish. Very refreshing. Medium bodied and beautiful mouthfeel. I almost didn’t want to swallow this stuff and keep that taste going on forever. A fine Vienna. I’ve got to get more of this!

On tap at Zum Schneider. Deep amber in color with a nice tan head. Malty and caramel aroma. Crisp finish. Flavor is malty and hoppy. Caramel notes with some hop bitterness. Clean tasting. Nice beer.

Low carbonation and golden-colored. Very mild. Not hoppy at all. Dangerously drinkable, yet not complex. Better as it warms!

#197 Dunkeles Gold mit massig standhaftem Schaum; schön anzusehen. Das Aroma ist malzintensiv und sogar etwas fruchtig nach Trockenobst. Der Antrunk ist zuerst trügerisch süßlich, schlägt dann aber zügig in Hopfenherbe um. Vielleicht etwas unausgewogen, aber dafür garantiert nicht eintönig. Jeder weitere Schluck wird besser und schreit nach dem nächsten. Beim World Beer Cup 2008 in den USA auf Anhieb zweiter Sieger. Tolles Märzen! Nur am Trikolore Etikett besteht noch Verbesserungsbedarf. Test vom 8.12.2009, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 13,12,12,12,10,12 - 12,00

dobre piwo. Choć na wiedeński styl nie wygląda mi to. Bardziej bym je przypisał do oktoberfest marzen. Piana spora, słodowy smak lecz chmiel dusi tę słodycz i trochę ją na finiszu przytłacza. świetnie piwo pasuje do bawarskich białych kiełbasek

Draft Die Kleine Bierstube Århus. Golden amber unfiltered color. Nice big whitehead, aroma and taste of sweet fruits, nuts and roasted malts. Nutty sweet finish. Served in original mug, by girl in Heidi uniform! I love it!
