What the brewers say
A malt forward Lager featuring hints of toasted malt. With Northern Brewer and Hallertauer Mittlefruh hops.
What our panel thought
"Nice roast malt aromatics of coffee, toffee, caramel, toast, and bread crust balance well with some subtle but pleasant floral hop notes. The sip leans quite hard into the roast and toes the line of becoming heavy handed. The caramel, toffee, and coffee notes are well balanced and enjoyable, but they seem to come across a bit more reminiscent of a dunkel or a brown ale. The finish is clean, lightly bitter and crisp. A clean, easy drinking, and enjoyable roast forward lager that doesn't care what style you call it. It will be consumed rapidly nonetheless." "Bright copper color with sticky off white foam. Some lightly roasted malt aromas followed by coffee and bread crust. Really nice grassy malt flavors throughout. The bitterness matches the sweetness really well allowing for structure and drinkability. Finishes quick and clean. This beer may be a bit roasty for Vienna Lager but drinks like a great brown ale."
What our editors thought
"Dark chestnut color appears more dunkel than Vienna. Beautiful aroma with candied peanut and honey roasted almond notes. A bit sweet and loose in the flavor without a backing bitterness to balance, but the nutty flavors are endearing."
