I had this beer over a year go but I'm finally getting around to getting this posted. I was visiting a roommate from college and having dinner together at a restaurant. Ended up ordering this beer, which came from a nearby brewery. They had just recently put out a canning line. I was given a can and a glass to pour it in.
The beer was an amber color with some orange highlights. A rigorous pour provided about two fingers of foamy, off-white head. Moderate retention, leaving a healthy amount of lacing on the glass and film at the surface. Considering this is a lager, I didn't expect a lot of crazy aromas. Sure enough, I picked up toast, caramel, and a hint of pepper.
The taste was very similar to what I picked up on the nose, fresh toasty bread, a touch of sweetness, and a slightly spicy finish. Medium body and carbonation makes this one a little on the lively side.
It's not often that I get my hands on lagers since most breweries tend to focus on ales instead. Still, I found this one to be quite palatable and definitely refreshing in its own right. I haven't had a lot of Vienna Lagers, but I'm sure that down the road I'll be more familiar with the style.
