Sierra Nevada Brewing (Chico, CA)
"Vienna-style beers are among the world’s first light-colored lagers and were on the brink of extinction until American craft brewers helped revive the style; it’s a good thing they did. These delicate and extremely balanced amber beers rely on semi-sweet and bready malt flavors but walk a fine line with both malt and hop character shouldering equal weight. Our take on the style features whole-cone European hops, which add to the dry finish."
A deliciously classic lager. When I think of "beer", this is what I imagine it tastes like.
Clean, crisp, and wonderfully malty.
