Category: Vienna

Date Tasted:
Country: USA

Medium amber color. Aromas and flavors of herbs and stewed tomato, malt, cascara tea, and pumpernickel with a velvety, crisp, spritzy, dryish medium body and a stimulating, medium-length finish that presents notes of brown bread, cocoa nibs, grilled herbs, and rye bread. Vienna’s need not always be sweet, try this one for a bitter treat.

Vienna lagers are amber to red in color and range in alcohol from 5-6%. These beers have a very malty, toasted character and a hint of sweetness. This style was originally brewed in Austria in the 19th century and has since come to be known as the Vienna style. This style of beer was adapted by Munich brewers and led to the märzen style. Vienna lagers have declined in popularity in recent years, and consumers are more likely to see Vienna lagers from Mexico than Europe or the US. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Negro Modelo, Victoria Lager and Metropolitan Dynamo Copper Lager.
