A throwback to the original Vienna lager recipes of the 1840s, our take – a markedly paler version than many modern examples – showcases the classic Vienna malt. Volksgarten is characterized by aromas of honey and biscuit, subtle toasted almond character on the tongue, and a complimentary spicy herbal hop note from the Czech Saaz.

16 oz. can. Aroma has soft cracker with a note of toffee. Everything in the flavor is subtle. Toffee, bread-like malt, very soft herb in the finish. What’s great is the crisp, dry texture that’s extremely refreshing. Nice!

Pours deep clear gold into a pils. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving spidery sheets. Multigrain sourdough and straw aromas. Medium bodied with sweet summer pit fruit and honey upfront turning to caramel and earthy herbed pie crust before the medium length bark finish.

Canned 12/1/22, drunk 1/6/23. Lighter golden for a Vienna with high clarity and a small, off-white head showing moderate retention. Mineral, biscuit, a speck of toasted grain and soft, easygoing, herbal hops make for a balanced nose that is malt and yeast-focused. More bready and nutty as it warms. Soft and malty, good depth and texture with high attenuation and lots of biscuit, honey and almond. Mineral from the yeast and pleasant herbal bitterness. Don't know enough about the historic Vienna to say whether this is true to style (I suspect it is), but it certainly tastes A LOT better than most contemporary, over-toasted, overly bready Viennas.
