A well made Vienna can be the perfect thirst-quenching Amber lager, worthy of being considered one of the original lager styles. This Vienna has a lot of the pieces that make up a good one. It pours a beautiful amber/copper, with aromas of toasted bread. The toasted, almost cookie-like malt comes through in the flavor with hints of caramel and even the malted part of a malted milk ball. The beer finishes a bit abruptly, which is a bit surprising, and leaves you wondering what happened to the nice malt flavors. In the range that runs from good Vienna lager to the cheap, sugary Central American versions of the style, this one lands much closer to the good ones, and would work wonderfully with any spicy cuisine.
