12 oz. can purchased at Total Wine - The Rim, San Antonio, TX. Pours a hazy light amber color with a white head and good retention. No lacing. Lightly sour caramel aroma. Malt dominant flavor with limited caramel flavor. Light body. Slick, flat mouthfeel. Short finish. No bitterness. Easy drinking, but forgettable. I like Vienna lagers but this one is off a bit. Old can?

Had this one in Austin, TX, on my trip in January 2020. Clean golden-amber colour with a small beige head, minimal lacing. Caramel nose and light warming alcohol, hints of apples. Same for the taste with a touch of hops in the finish. A little sweet, rich, but not too thick.

12 oz. can. A near clear Amber color liquid, some mild head retention. Aroma is tame, light toffee. The flavors shows toffee, caramel, yeast present. Crisp texture with a moderately sweet finish. Body is thin. For the style this is pretty ok. Not much else to say here. Simple.

Sample at Mongoose vs Cobra. Clear copper color with a medium foamy white head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast malt and mild hops. Light-bodied with flavors of sweet malt, earthy hops and slight fruit. The finish is sweet with a short malty aftertaste. Average overall.

~12 oz draft at the Craft and Growler in Dallas, Texas. The pour is a clear amber with a small egg white head. The aroma is faint, what is there is malt, cracker, and straw. Clean, just muted nose. The taste is big cracker malt, mineral earth, straw, and finishes with hay. The palate is light to medium bodied, soft natural carbonation, and an earthy straw herbal finish. Clean and tasty.

Enjoyed while in the Dallas area on business. Appearance slightly cloudy amber with a thin head. Aroma of malt and lager yeast.
Taste a little creamy, basic amber lager easy to drink.
