fuya_jo (221), Portland, Oregon, USA May 5, 2004 Pours with a large-to-medium head with a carmel color. This beer has a roasty smell to it. A rich taste, which is slightly mineraly, but has a pleasent finish. Good all-around beer. Ughsmash (3079), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Jun 14, 2006 Bottled. Poured a clear deeper orange with about a minutes worth of white head. Nose found a solid dose of sweet malts (caramel and toffee) as well as dried apricots. Caramel and toffee were a tad roasty in the flavor... the apricots showed up again and were paired with hints of cherry and orange. Only bitterness found was in the floral form at the finish. Drier on the palate with adequate carbonation. Nothing exceptional, but certainly tasty and drinkable. Slick (1956), Minnesota, USA Mar 28, 2004 Beer #2 in the Jpdipso bock run.Nice reddish amber color,small to no head at all.The aroma was malty sweet with a decent caramel and mild hops,sweet fruit presence that is hard to put a finger on.Nice malt taste with a decent caramel and sweet upfront with a mild bitterness coming on towards the endThe fruit flavor comes and goes but gets stronger towards the end as the brews warms.Not a bad brew but it could use a little help in the flavor and the body.Overall decent but nothing special,worth trying atleast once. JPDIPSO (4286), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA Jul 24, 2003 Clear amber color with a moderate ecru head. Clean light hops and malt aroma, nothing intoxicating, just clean. Clean and dry in the flavor area as well. A solid, but not not stirring, vienna style. Shag (1787), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA Apr 3, 2005 A malty cherry aroma. An amber color with almost no head present. Thin bodied and rather weak but a definite orange and caramel presence in the flavor. The aftertaste is somewhat sweet. Overall its a decent lawnmower beer but nothing really complex. Its probably a little too good to be under the American Dark Lager category, I would say its more Vienna like in nature.
