Disturbing Turkish moderate body retains nasty compost waft, off-putting vegetal dredge, and lemon-rotted tangerine souring. Astringent grassy hop swamping, mild cabbage skunking and musty yeast unpleasantness confine crisp water flow. Skip.

Unbalanced moderate-to-medium-bodied Vienna-styled dark amber lager brewed in collaboration with Germany’s Potts Brewery lacks sturdy stylistic theme (and decent flavoring), becoming endlessly ponderous by peculiar maibock-soured finish. Rotted lemon-peeled bittering reaches dour hop-spiced orange-dried acridity over nutty tobacco-leafed desiccation and muddy earthen peat fungi. Blanched cherry-grape fruiting lost amongst raw-honeyed astringency and phenol carbolic fuzz.

Doughy frontage receives staid malt sweetness as off-dry earthen graining, recessive rye-wheat conflux, and fresh hay leathering pick up orange-oiled fruitiness dulled by astringent husked corn missive.

Mildly bitter-grained spice-hopped amber lager places toasted barley-oats sweetness atop bland Vienna malting and off dry orange astringency. Indifferent finish softens too quickly.

Decent amber-coppered lager with burnt wood tones, smoked molasses malts, and sweet barley-rye continuance solicits spice-hopped elegance. Second passing finds curacao orange illusion losing luster by predictable cereal-grained finish.

Dull sweet mocha aroma, carbolic hop romp, roasted barley flow, and creamy malt texture ultimately too presumptuous attempting to capture true Viennese lager. Lacks body and complexion to boot. Brewery defunct: 2003.

Appealing amber-glowed yellow-tinted dry lager surrounds wheat-cracked barley-toasted sweetness with mildly hopped orange-apricot-peach tang and soured cherry tartness. Honeyed malt finish brings out herbal tea, tobacco, and cola nut hints.

Listless palest straw macro-brewed pushover fades into phenol oblivion as soon as muted corn-soured whiskey waft, dank malt sweetness and glutinous spelt grain buttering lose traction to clay-hopped plasticene linger. Yawn.

Sweet marzipan creaminess gets spread across buttered rye frontage, seeping into hop-spiced repose and biscuit-y wheat bottom. Ensuing toasted almond, pecan, and vanilla illusions supplement medium-bodied lager. Brewery defunct: 2010.

Peculiar copper-toned Vienna lager boasts crystalline artisan-watered fruit musk, aromatic toasted malt dollop and sly rye slide. Yeast-thickened butterscotch-mocha conflux detectable at silky sweet finish. Robust, rich, yet unobtrusive.

Versatile pioneering microbrew led revolutionary movement against stifled commercial American breweries by sparking significant trend towards quality craftsmanship in ’80s. Historic amber lager opens with bright spicy citrus aroma, rich maple malting, and pleasant caramel roast embracing gentle barley-oats spine. Iconic matchstick head finish given burnt cherry wood trail, faint orange peel bitterness, and apricot tang for distinctive luster. On tap, gummy wheat gluten mouthfeel discerned. Tried June ’04 bottle seven years hence just for kicks and the perfectly basic lager…
