Envy - Vienna Lager

In The Beginning There Was The Wort

Envy




BJCP 2015 Style Guidelines state: "Originally developed by Anton Dreher in Vienna in 1841, became popular in the mid-late 1800s. Now nearly extinct in its area of origin, the style continues in Mexico where it was brought by Santiago Graf and other Austrian immigrant brewers in the late 1800s. Authentic examples are increasingly hard to find (except perhaps in the craft beer industry) as formerly good examples become sweeter and use more adjuncts."

 

Our recipe took us quite a while to create and we can still only feel "envy" to the abilities of Anton Dreher. 

Feel it with us!

Vienna Lager

 

BJCP Style: 7 A

 

Style: A moderate-strength amber lager with a soft, smooth maltiness and moderate bitterness, yet finishing relatively dry. The malt flavor is clean, bready-rich, and somewhat toasty, with an elegant impression derived from quality base malts and process, not specialty malts and
adjuncts.
