Central Standard Brewing CSB Vienna Lager

What the brewers say

“Expect notes of toasted bread and caramel sweetness, with a clean, balanced sweetness.”

What our panel thought

“Wonderfully balanced malt aromatics of roast, toast, bread, and cracker are supported by a clean floral hop note. The sip delivers what the aroma promises with a nice layered-but-restrained malt body and a balanced floral and perfume bitterness. Drinks clean and finishes crisp.”

What our editors thought

“Hefty bready malt in the aroma with a strong floral streak. Sweet but structured in the sip as the bitterness cleans up the strong malt in the finish.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

pFriem Family Brewers Vienna Lager

Fairly hop-forward herbal and floral aroma initially. Then a nice lightly toasted and biscuit aroma wrapped in a mist of very light herbal hops. The flavor builds on that toast, adding some fresh crushed malt and bread dough. Hops and malt are well-balanced. Finish has some good Maillard quality. Finishes dry.

Meanwhile Brewing Co. Meanwhile Vienna Lager

“A clean malt nose of cracker and bread crust complements floral and perfume hop aromatics. Light malt notes with just a touch of cracker lean into the Munich helles space with a nice complementary bitterness from the floral, lemongrass, and tea-like hop character. Clean and crisp in the finish with a bright carbonic burst.”

Twin Barns Brewing Company Pitou Vienna Lager

“Bold floral and perfume-like hop notes in the aroma emerge out of subtle hints of bread and cracker malt. The malt flavors of cracker and light toast support a well-balanced dose of floral and soapy bitterness. Finishes clean and crisp with just enough lingering bitterness.”
