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.
