Vienna-Style Lager
Few styles exemplify beer's "liquid bread" moniker as much as Vienna lager. The toasted German malts provide the same sorts of melanoidins created by the Maillard reactions of protein-sugar-heat you'd find in an artisanal loaf. Like bread there isn't much sweetness left behind after the clean lager strain and cold lagering. Like bread, freshness is key so this beer is unfiltered and unpasteurized!
Batch #1 (January 2022): 5.8% ABV
Batch #2 (March 2024): 5.8% ABV
Batch #3 (October 2025): 5.8 ABV

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 9 | Texture - 9 | Overall - 8.5
16 oz. can. Aroma has light spice, toffee, bread crust. Flavor is toffee with a bready malt backbone. Mild spice. Very soft herbal bitterness for balance. Crisp, dry texture. Quite good.
