Malty smell golden Amber pour. Taste of malt and slight taste of hops. Decent beer.

12 ounce bottle into lager glass, best before 1/12/2017. Pours slightly hazy golden orange color with a 1 finger dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of honey, cracker, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness, light pepper, floral, and herbal/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of bready malts and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of honey, cracker, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness, light pepper, floral, and herbal/toasted earthiness. Light herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of honey, cracker, toasted biscuit, light nuttiness, and herbal/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of bready malts and light earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Very clean on lager flavors; with minimal fruity yeast notes preset. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.4%. Overall this is a nice Vienna lager. All around good robustness and balance of bready malts and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth and easy to drink. Was hoping for a bit more noble hop character and bitterness; but this is a nice showcase of Munich/Vienna malt flavors. A nicely enjoyable offering.
