Beau’s All Natural Brewing Company Farm Table: Vienna-Style Lager Vienna Lager at 4.7% ABV | 25 IBU (C$6.23 at NLC Howley Estates, 600 ml, bottle date 19-Aug-2016, acquired 23-Nov-2016, reviewed 23-Nov-2016)
Appearance: clear pale amber with one fat finger of rocky ivory head, moderate retention and patchy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: grainy and biscuity malt, caramel, light citrus and grassy. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, mild bitter. (7/10) Medium-light body, moderate-soft carbonation, off-dry mildly bitter finish. (3/5)
A pleasant Vienna Lager – nothing challenging, but well-balanced and even-tempered. Since it isn’t one of my favourite styles, I might or mightn’t have bothered to get this had it been on its own, but I don’t mind getting it as one of the 2016 Oktoberfest pack. (Yes, it just showed up at NLC stores, in November. A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.) (13/20)
