Bottled. Poured a golden yellow with mild head. Some grassy and malty aromas, hints of caramel to taste, bit of a skunk apres-taste.

Pours amber with a huge white head. Aroma of citrus, roasted malt. Taste has huge floral notes, rich malt, citrusy. Palate has much of the same, refreshing toasted note followed by some orange. Good.

16 ounce bottle into lager glass, bottled on 6/28/2012. Pours lightly hazy deep golden amber color with a 1 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of caramel, biscuit, toast, brown sugar, pear, apple, raisin, herbal, floral, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of bready malt and fruity yeast ester notes; with solid strength. Taste of caramel, biscuit, toast, brown sugar, brown bread, pear, apple, herbal, floral, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Lingering notes of caramel, biscuit, toast, brown sugar, pear, apple, herbal, light pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Good balance and solid robustness of bready malts with fruity/earthy yeast ester flavors; with a good malt/yeast balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish, Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth, crisp, and lightly bready mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a nice vienna lager. Good balance of bready malt and fruity yeast ester flavors; and very smooth to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Orange-amber with a thin, off-white head. Aroma of crackers, a little caramel. Taste is strong breads, toast, malt... Caramel, a slight grassiness. Amazingly bready... Tasty.

From notes. Bottle. Pretty sweet, much aweeter than expected. Loads of caramel and toffee. This brew is kind subpar. Not really for me.

Whole Foods, Bowery 16oz ($3): Pours a light amber with a white head. Aroma is caramel malts, with some hops. Taste has a slight hoppy undertone. It is slightly bitter. A modicum of sweetness.Body is nice. Aftertaste is slightly hoppy. This is a good vienna lager for sure.

From a pounder bottle. looks like a darker hefe. A little soapy on the olfactory, but otherwise nuetral. Yes, vienna in nature, has that smooth malty thing going on, nearly has a gag reflex from the cloying sweetness which is so common in this style. Yes, seems a little higher in the alky content than listed. Vienna, a beer that takes some getting used to for me. Finosh is what else but sweet malty medicine. Not nearly as good as Atwater Rost or Spendrups Pistonhead Plastic Fantastic
