Can from a Qwerty Beer Box. Aroma had is malty, grainy, with dark berries and coffee. Opaque dark gold. Thick foamy microbubbled off-white head. Medium bitter with a tangy sour edge. Coffee. The sour edge developd into sweet fruit and caramel. But the bitter notes remain throughout. Light-medium bodied. Slick. A touch creamy. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long if not OTT finish. Enjoyable.

Vienna Keller Lager from Utopian Brewing

7.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
[33cl can from Beer52.] A gushing pour, settling eventually to reveal a hazy amber body with a thick yellow head; interesting aroma with bread and biscuits along with some caramel; then a fairly dry caramel malt taste with fruity biscuits and some spicy yeast. A satisfying and very drinkable Vienna lager, well worth the wait for it to settle.
