Batch 85 Vienna tasting notes

Cold

Pours golden orange, healthy even yellow head that stays and laces, clear with almost imperceptible haze.

Aroma nice spicy hops up front, vanilla, nearly ripe pears, malt.

Mouth feel clean bitter but also somewhat toothy balanced by lively carbonation.

Flavor bitter hop spice up front, malt is very subdued, light sweetness in the background near the end.

Finish lingering pleasant hop bitterness.

Overall this is more of a toothy pils than a Vienna, hops are too dominant.  Halve the bittering hops, go all vienna and munich malt.  Pleasant beer.
