Ivy City: Vienna Lager

◎ Appearance

A clear, bright amber pour with a pale golden hue characteristic of the Vienna malt base. The head forms with modest retention and leaves fine lacing along the glass. Carbonation is visible and steady, supporting a clean, inviting presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a pronounced floral lift from Saaz hops, balanced by earthy undertones from Tettnanger. Beneath lies a bready, sweet malt character that recalls fresh toast and grain. A subtle spice note rounds the profile without overwhelming the classic noble-hop elegance.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers a smooth, bready sweetness that enters soft and lingers through the mid-palate. Herbal and earthy hop flavours develop steadily, layering with a light, malty backbone. The finish edges toward dry, with the 25 IBU providing just enough structure to prevent cloying, while maintaining clean, crisp edges.

◑ Finish

A clean, dry conclusion with gentle hop spice fading into a faintly earthy aftertaste. The finish is moderate in length, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.
