231. Devil's Backbone Vienna Lager


I bought this beer for my buddies that were attending a fantasy football draft.  Of course I was going to sample some of the goods that I purchased!  The contents were emptied into a stemless snifter.  It's got a dark amber color, one finger of off-white head with low retention and low amounts of lacing.  I can pick up aromas of toast, malt, and brown sugar.

I can taste toasted malt, sourdough, and caramel.  Very simplistic in nature, but not beer styles need to be complex.  Medium bodied with medium carbonation.  Smooth drinkability.  

It's a very clean tasting beer, inoffensive to the taste buds.  If someone wanted to get introduced to the world of craft beer, I think this would be one of those beers that would be helpful for the transition.  Very good beer.


Grade: B+
Price Paid: $1.66 (12 oz bottle)
