On tap at iBrew. Amber golden colour, small off-white head. Aroma is toffee and caramel, malty. Taste is similar, sweet maltiness again, caramel. Nice enough.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Na’ama’s place. Thanks Na’ama. Clear deep golden with no head. Aroma of malt, a bit of toast, caramel. Sweetish malt flavor with some caramel, light toast, and a mildly bitterish finish. Light to medium-bodied.

Bottle at Takumi, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is dry malt, light hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a yeast, sweet malt, light dry mediciall hop bitter palate and a slightly lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

330 ml bottle from Seijo Ishii @ Nagoya station. Pours clear amber with a foamy top. Top doesn’t stay though. Aroma is quite malty - reminding me some stronger lagers where alcohol is penetrating through from the sweetness. Some sweet candy, mixed with herbal liquor. Taste is quite malty as expected, there is also a lot of bitterness that is masking the alcohol. Unfortunately, you can’t still feel any hop aromas and the aftertaste is quite short and feels somewhat robust. Not my favourite beer but not too bad either.

----update on tap at Rockin Hearts------- Kind of surprised to see this is 6%, A clear amber brown. Caramel & chocolate in the nose. Very soft bodied & smooth. The taste is grainy, lightly malty caramel, nutty and a bit roasty in the finish. OK.The aroma went down, taste went up as did the overall so it went from 2.9 to 3.2 ---old review------6% draft at Bungalow. A nice amber color with a malty caramel aroma. The taste is not balanced, bitter, rough, greenery not at all a true Vienna lager. Not truly terrible but average at best.

Draught at Q-Brick. Deep Amber, lace. Nice caramel nose. Fruity caramel flavor. Ok but not much happening, and not clear why they needed a new brand.
