Toffeeish honey, cereal grains, and hay aroma. Clear auburn, medium yellow head. Honey and grain flavor, slightly tinny. Full body, easy carbonation, smooth. I fully expected this to be another bland lager, maybe with a bit of hops if I’m lucky. It turned out to be a delightful malt forward rich and smooth, well crafted vienna. I would have no problem drinking this on a regular basis.

12 oz. brown bottle - Foothills chalice glass A: Orange Amber color with an inch of tight foam. Good retention and lacing. Looks great. S: Toast and baking spice/nutmeg (?). Slight caramel. T: Dry orange spice with a crackery malt backbone. Slight sweetness. Good balance. Very nice. M: Medium body. Prickly carbonation. Bitter dry finish. Again very good. O: Nothing to complain about. Very good overall and worth buying anytime though a bit on the strong side for me at over 6% ABV.

This reminds me of the Churchville.

Reviewed from notes.
Several times poured into a pilsener and a couple times poured into a pint glass - there really wasn’t much noticeable difference.
The appearance was a nice golden amber hazy sort of color with a decent one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute. Once the head died, there was some light stringy lacing sticking to both glasses for the most part.
The smell had a nice roasty maltiness running all about the nose. I’d say it was a decent caramel of sorts that made everything seem right about it.
The taste was slightly sweet, but not bitter. It was somewhat roasty, but also a bit nutty.
On the palate, it sat about a light to medium in body with a decent sessionable quality about it.
Overall, I say this was a good Vienna Lager well worthy of having again if I ever saw it again.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. Off-white head with medium retention recedes to mottle surface. Caramel and bread aromas. Soft with caramel, sourdough and pumpernickel upfront turning to a mildly bitter earth in the lasting finish.

Bottle. Better Beer Of The Month Club. Hazy reddish amber with a beige head. Aroma of malt, caramel, some toastiness, nutty notes and hints of noble hops with a light earthy/herbal note. Flavor of sweetish toasty malt, some caramel, nuts, and some decent earthy and slightly herbal hops bitterness. Medium-bodied. Pretty well-made.
