Cold
Pours huge fine white head, yellow, slight haze
Aroma big vanilla punch, tart fruit, spicy hops in the background
Mouthfeel moderate body, definite tooth, a little clingy
Flavor all sweet vanilla, even at the end. Slight pears maybe.
Finish vanilla again, not really quenching.
Overall, about what I expected unfortunately, very sweet malty without the melanoidin crunch, hop balance is way off (although probably to style), lagering just doesn't cut the vienna flavor as much as I had hoped. Abandoning the style, as of today. Kind of had to choke down the batch, although there may be takers out there, just not me.
