Amsterdam
This Vienna Lager presents a sophisticated malt profile, utilizing a crisp Pilsner malt base bolstered by Munich malt to deliver a characteristic bready and toasty depth. The sensory experience is anchored by a precise bittering structure; Columbus hops provide a firm foundational bitterness, while a mid-boil addition of Magnum hops contributes a clean, balanced finish that never overshadows the elegant grain character. This combination results in a bright, copper-hued lager that marries traditional European malt richness with a modern, clean hop presence, concluding with a dry and smooth aftertaste suitable for repeated sipping.
Appearance. Light reddish-amber to copper in color (SRM 10-12) with brilliant clarity. Features a large, off-white, persistent head with good lacing.
Aroma. Moderately intense malt aroma characterized by toasty and malty-rich notes. The fermentation profile is clean, typical of a lager, with a very low, almost neutral herbal hop presence. No significant caramel or roasted scents are present.
Taste. The palate leads with soft, elegant malt complexity, showcasing a rich, toasty character without caramel or biscuit flavors. A firm bitterness from the kettle hops provides a balanced finish. The hop flavor is low to none, appearing faintly herbal. It finishes fairly dry and soft, with both the toasted malt and a clean bitterness lingering briefly in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a gentle creaminess and smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate, and there is no perceived alcohol warmth or astringency.
