Utopian’s take on the classic 19th century Vienna Keller uses British grown Vienna and Munich malts in a traditional decoction mash to develop the deep bready malt flavours which are balanced by the light fruity spice notes from the British Boadicea hops.

Cans from House Of Trembling Madness (2021 and 2025). Deep golden with a faint haze and an off-white head that holds well. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of straw, digestive biscuit and brown bread. Flavour of buttered toast, copper and nutty malt. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Simple and moreish.

Can from lowcostbeer.com. Was a bit of a gusher but didn't lose too much. Semi-hazy amber big off white fluffy top. Aroma is sweet with caramel malts, dusty crop, light flora. Taste of caramel, grass, biscuit, light nuts, mixed jam, reasonable bitterness in finish - good complexity.

Can from Low Cost Beer. Appearance - massive gusher, losing majority of it. Massive head over a brown-ish beer. Nose - brown bread mainly. A hint of something citrus. Taste - toffee and brown bread. Palate - chewy texture, sweet middle. Overall - didn't see it at its peak, unfortunately, but could see potential in there.

Tight white head on a dark amber coloured body. Malt, grape & jam aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a tingle down the throat. Malt, syrup, spiced & fruity tastes with bitter peppery finish. Jazzes up the taste buds.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A gushing pour, settling eventually to reveal a hazy amber body with a thick yellow head; interesting aroma with bread and biscuits along with some caramel; then a fairly dry caramel malt taste with fruity biscuits and some spicy yeast. A satisfying and very drinkable Vienna lager, well worth the wait for it to settle.
