What the brewers say

“Malt-forward Vienna lager with crisp notes of toasted bread and pumpernickel.”

What our panel thought

“Floral and herbal hop notes in the aroma balanced by hints of bread crust and toast. Roast character in the malt body creates a nice counterpoint to the otherwise bready sweetness and integrates well with the floral hop bitterness. A touch of carbonic bite attempts to further temper the malt sweetness creating a crisp, clean, but lightly bitter finish.”

What our editors thought

“Toasty bready nose, bready but fruity flavor with a quirky burnt note mid-sip.”
