The appearance is a stunning amber to copper color, topped with a creamy off-white head that leaves a delicate lacing on the glass. On the palate, the Vienna lager delivers a full-bodied and malty flavor profile, with a balanced sweetness that is accentuated by notes of toasted bread, caramel, and subtle nutty undertones.
