12oz bottle. Filtered brown-orange color. Thin, but respectable head. Sweet medium-dark malt aroma, a touch of seawater. Smooth and sessionable, medium bodied. There is some faint, dry, sandy hop bitterness that helps to balance out the deep, sweet malt tones. Pretty well done, though certainly not world class. Lacks some depth, certainly.

Pour is a dark brown with a tan head. Aroma is caramel malts with a little sugar and a doughy smell. Flavor is ok with some good roastyness and a touch of sweetness almost like honey. Not a bad little brew and i have had worse from this brewer.

Bottle. Amber pour. Flavor is very smooth. Malt, touch of hops, good bitter finish. Nothing too great about this beer, but nice easy beer to drink.

Not too bitter, but is very similar to pale yellow american beers. The label says all malt. Perhaps the flavor has a bit more than typical mass brewed. This is better than the adirondac saranac vienna I tasted recently. I think Auggie has a pretty good handle on flavor with his variations of ’Schell’ beers.

On Tap. Pours a nice amber color topped off with a nice cream head. there is a hint of citrus and a hint of hops.

Bottled. I belive this was my first beer in this style, back when I visited the Schell Brewery a few year ago. It seemed very likable then, though there are few faults when I try it now. There is a good Vienna malt smell. It pours a nice red with little to no head. Taste is rich and malty, but has the phenolic tang of peated malts. So a bit off, but that’s the risk in this style. Definitely worth looking up if you get a chance.

Light red, small head. One dimensional flavor of somewhat sweet malt. Better than many other Vienna’s I have had.
