Die Brauhandwerker

This Vienna Lager, affectionately named Fred, bridges Franconian tradition with a vibrant Baden soul. It pours a brilliant copper with a persistent off-white head, greeting the nose with a moderately intense display of toasty, bready-rich malts. Reflecting its Franconian roots, the profile is notably malty and spicy, yet distinguishes itself with an unexpected touch of fruity brightness mentioned by the brewer. The palate follows suit, offering an elegant malt complexity that leans into toasted crust and subtle spice. A firm, clean bitterness balances the mid-palate, leading to a smooth, relatively dry finish that invites another sip of this rustic yet refined lager.

Appearance. Light reddish-amber to copper in color with brilliant clarity. Features a large, off-white, persistent head with good lacing.

Aroma. Moderately intense malt aroma with prominent toasty and bready-rich accents. A clean lager character is present, though accompanied by a subtle spicy hop note and a light, unusual fruity lift that differentiates this specific version.

Taste. Initial impression of soft, elegant malt complexity showcasing toasted bread and rich grain. A firm but smooth hop bitterness provides balance against the malt. The finish is fairly dry and soft, leaving a clean aftertaste of toasted malt and a hint of spicy, herbal hops.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a gentle creaminess and smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate, and there is no significant alcohol warmth, making it highly drinkable.
