Loncium Wiener Lager

Tap to rate

A Vienna lager from the Gailtal in Carinthia, brewed close to the Italian border at 720 metres above sea level, with the brewery's own spring behind it. The style goes back to Anton Dreher, who combined cold fermentation with English malting know-how; Loncium's version comes in at 5.1% ABV.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Loncium Wiener Lager

◎ Appearance

A deep golden to amber hue with excellent clarity and bright transmission of light. The head forms a fine, persistent cap with good adhesion to the glass, slowly diminishing to a thin collar. Carbonation is moderate and evenly distributed, producing a gentle sparkle without aggression.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with warm, toasted malt notes—bread crust and subtle caramel sweetness create an inviting foundation. A delicate herbal-spice backdrop emerges from noble hops, restrained and respectful of the malt character. No aggressive phenolics or fermentation notes; the overall impression is clean and harmonious.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and malty, with caramel and bread tones laying a generous base across the mid-palate. A mild, refined bitterness arrives in the middle register without harshness, finishing at around 25 IBU with crisp edges. The body feels substantial yet elegant, the malt character remaining primary throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry, with the malt sweetness fading to leave a pleasant bread-and-hop dryness on the palate. Aftertaste lingers gently for several seconds without becoming astringent or thin.
