Wien Lager

Order from the brewery via Rakuten, on sale as it is past it’s expiry date. It still pours a great amber color with a thick head of foam, no lacing. The aroma is mild & fruity. The taste is really nice, citrus then caramel malt and a crisp fruity bitter finish. I really liked this beer. It was easy to drink and a pleasent surprise as I was expecting a boring lager. The label says Baeren Wiener though which I felt was funny.

Bottle, available in limited supply only via mail order. Clear, glowing amber color with a tall foamy head. Malty aroma, with caramel. Not as rich as I would have liked, but nice, sweet, and bready. Nice, subtle, Vienna malt flavor with cookie and bread, not too sweet, with caramel. Not very special, but nicely done with decent hop bitterness at the finish. Just slightly fruity, with a bit of roast. Body a bit light. Gra balance, subtle goodness. Very drinkable.
