One of our favorite lager styles of beer to brew for its malt complexity, yet infinite drinkability. Due to the double decoction method of brewing, we achieved a unique depth of malt flavor that is balanced by Czech Saaz hops. This beer is copper in color with a medium body for a slightly more robust drinking experience.

Pour is a hazy copper with a large white head. Aroma is a nice toasted caramel malt. Flavor is more toasted caramel malt with a super spicy hop profile. Finish leaves a lot of toasted wheat bread on the tongue. This was one of the better Vienna's I've had in a long time.

4 oz draft. at Schillings Lager Fest. Biscuit / cracker malt with a mild honey-like depth. Texture is clean, with a nice malt characteristic. Nice!

Hopleaf draught, 11/30/23. Clear, lighter amber. Small off-white head at half inch cover. Lighter, toastier, good mix of malts. Clean. Lots of sourdough with light, herbal hops. Malty caramel notes up front, with bread, pepper, toast and honey following. Good mix of malt, attenuated, crisp finish and lots of honeyed sourdough. Not the most crisp finish. A bit syrupy, even. But the malt character is excellent. Just needs a bit more balance.

Tap at Goldfinger. Steady, creamy head. Tan-brown body, hints of amber perhaps. Really nice example of the styles, deep malt nuances, but clean and drinkable too. Really true to style, with a soft pillowy body from the sidepour. World Class.

Can from Beer On the Wall Arlington Heights. Pours a clear copper with a full two fingers of beige head that dissipates. Lovely bready malt aromas with wildflower honey and caramel standing out. More of the same on the palate. Nice toasted caramel notes. Smooth and refreshing. Light pepper that lingers. Great stuff.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear amber with a copper hue and a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has light bread and grains with a hint of grass underlying. Flavor has a good amount of bread with a bit of grain and a hint of grass in the finish.
