draught from northside 10. Pours a clear amber brown without ton of head. Clean malts, pretty OK but nothing spectacular.

Very clear copper and light brown coloured body with a very thin, fast-dying just off-white head. Aroma of crisp grainy malts with some biscuits, yeast and a dose of floral notes with a light dose of hop bitterness and a slightly sweet scent from fruits towards the end. Light-bodied; Strong grainy malts with a lot of earthy and slightly nutty pungency with some astringency, a lot of yeast and a dose of hay and grasses as well, but some very subtle sweetness comes through from stone fruits and a dose of caramelised sugars as well. Aftertaste shows some deep earthy and nutty malts with a light dose of hay and herbs, but more bitterness and some light fruity notes without much else, fairly simplistic throughout, but the flavour profile is nice and robust. Overall, a fairly nice and crisp vienna, from Vienna - what a shocker! Luckily, this is the better (as much as I hate the suburbs) Vienna out of the options compared to Wien, Austria (boring, lack of character), but the beer is nice for the style. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 03-July-2020 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 06-November-2020.

$4 happy hour special at Galaxy Hut pours a clear amber with no head. Nose has malt and bubblegum, wheat and a little clove. Flavor follows, Light malt, some orange, clove, a little candy. Finishes watery. A decent attempt at improving on a Yuengling.

4 oz pour on draft at Caboose. I assume the ² is because it’s a Vienna lager and they’re located in Vienna, VA, clever. Originally called Vienna² Lager, renamed to Crossroads Lager. Murky orange with off-white head. Aromas of citrus, wheat, malt. Tastes of stone fruit, citrus, wheat, malt. Light body with a dry finish. Okay.
