Crispy Club: Vienna

Tap to rate

Aromas of freshly baked bread, a touch of caramel and a subtle roasty edge in a copper-coloured Vienna Lager, cold-fermented and lagered for a long time. It closes the first year of the Crispy Club, Baxbier's lager series, as the least trendy style of the set: underrated, says the brewery, especially in autumn. 5.5% ABV.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Crispy Club: Vienna

◎ Appearance

A clear, copper-coloured pour with a fine, persistent head that settles into a thin collar. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, characteristic of a traditionally lagered brew. Light catches the body with a warm, honeyed transparency.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with distinct freshly baked bread and dough character, followed by subtle caramel sweetness and a quiet roasty undertone. The hop presence is restrained and noble, allowing the malt complexity to dominate without aggressive aromatics. There is a clean, well-rounded quality that speaks to careful lagering.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and malty, with a bready foundation that carries through the mid-palate alongside gentle caramel depth and a subtle toasted grain character. The finish is clean and crisp, with 25 IBU providing restrained bitterness that frames rather than dominates. Body is smooth and well-balanced, neither thin nor heavy.

◑ Finish

A dry, elegant close with lingering breadiness and malt character that fades without harshness. The aftertaste is brief and pleasant, leaving only the memory of toasted grain and refreshing crispness.
