OldRaspy (292), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA Jun 9, 2008 On tap at the brewpub. A reddish brown color with a slight white head. Aroma was bready with caramel malt. Flavor was sweet caramel with a touch of hops in the background.
kevd193213 (350), Coventry, Rhode Island, USA Jun 29, 2008 Draught. Amber pour with a medium white head. Aroma of caramel and malt. Taste of toffee and caramel with a slight bitter finish. kmweaver (2273), Nicaragua Jun 16, 2008 Draft @ Willi. Pours a bright, clear orange-amber color; thin off-white head with patchy lacing. Solid presence of red fruits, candied sugar; and sweet malts in the aroma; a light earthy / mineral bitterness, but not significant. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: chewy red fruit maltiness, candy sugar, and mineral bitterness at the periphery, balancing things out; the malt core is quite nice; very drinkable vienna. Medium finish: toasted malts, breadiness, and dried red fruits; dry at the far end. jjpm74 (3447), Connecticut, USA Jun 7, 2008 Pours a light coppery red with a nice white head. Smells of biscuits, sweet malt. Tastes sweet and toasty with a moderate hop presence on the finifh. Lots of chewy sweet caramel malt on this one. Immy (1610), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA Jun 4, 2008 On tap at the brewpub, listed at 5.6%. This may or may not be a different recipe. Commercial description at the brewpub was "This German style Vienna bier is brewed with Munich, Pilsener, Aromatic and Vienna malts hopped with Spalt. 5.6% abv ( A portion of the sales of this beer will be donated to the Willimantic Victorian Neighborhood Association)". Anyway, clear amber with a thin white head. Sweet caramel malt, bready, a bit of light grain. The Spalt hop influence is apparent. Flavor follows the nose exactly. Nice, light and very drinkable.
