Hahn Vienna Red

Tap to rate

A toasted-malt lager in the Vienna mould and one of the few beers in the range that ever went dark. It shows reddish brown in the glass and leads with a floral hop aroma over soft caramel. The malt is the point here: a light toasted note and toffee through the middle, backed by a fresh grassy hop character that keeps the sweetness in check. Medium bodied, with a soft malt close, the whole thing built for balance rather than pushed in any one direction.

◎ Appearance

Reddish-brown in the glass with good clarity and a natural shine. The head forms with moderate density and leaves fine lacing as it recedes. Carbonation appears well-integrated, suggesting a restrained but present fizz.

◌ Aroma

Floral hop character leads, supported by soft caramel from the Malz. A light toasted grain note emerges beneath, creating a layered nose that speaks to measured brewcraft rather than aggression. The overall impression is gentle and composed.

◐ Taste

Light toasted malt and toffee carry the mid-palate with clarity and restraint. Grassy hop bitterness enters cleanly and holds the residual sweetness in equilibrium, preventing any cloying character. The body sits at a comfortable medium, neither thin nor heavy.

◑ Finish

The close is soft and malty, with the hop bitterness fading to a clean, dry end. No harsh edges or lingering heaviness; the finish invites another sip.
