This elegant Vienna Lager pays homage to Anton Dreher’s historic recipe, delivering a sophisticated sensory profile defined by its copper-hued brilliance. The aroma is led by moderately intense toasty malt notes, complemented by the delicate floral and spicy nuances of noble Hallertau Tradition and Perle hops. On the palate, a soft, bready malt complexity takes center stage, balanced by a clean, firm bitterness from Magnum hops. This craft interpretation maintains a crisp, relatively dry finish and a smooth, medium-bodied mouthfeel, capturing the authentic character of a style that once defined the world’s brewing landscape through quality malt and traditional lager techniques.
