Emerson's Brewing Company's Reserve Little Red Rooster is an intriguing amber lager that takes inspiration from the Vienna red lager style. This beer boasts a generous bitterness from a trial hop variety, which complements the malty base of pilsner, crystal, caramel, and a touch of black malt. The German lager yeast strain and extended cold maturation process have emphasized the beer's malty character, resulting in a glowing amber color and a toffee aroma. On the palate, the upfront bitterness is balanced by the complex toasted notes of the malt, leading to a hint of sweetness that lingers through the finish. This beer offers a unique and flavorful interpretation of the Vienna red lager style.
