Aroma: Rich German malt aroma (of Vienna and/or Munich malt). A light to moderate toasted malt aroma is often
present. Clean lager aroma with no fruity esters or diacetyl. No hop aroma. Caramel aroma is inappropriate.
Appearance: Dark gold to deep orange-red color. Bright clarity, with solid foam stand.
Flavor: Initial malty sweetness, but finish is moderately dry. Distinctive and complex maltiness often includes a
toasted aspect. Hop bitterness is moderate, and noble hop flavor is low to none. Balance is toward malt, though the
finish is not sweet. Noticeable caramel or roasted flavors are inappropriate. Clean lager character with no diacetyl or
fruity esters.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, with a creamy texture and medium carbonation. Smooth. Fully fermented, without a
cloying finish.
Overall Impression: Smooth, clean, and rather rich, with a depth of malt character. This is one of the classic malty
styles, with a maltiness that is often described as soft, complex, and elegant but never cloying.
History: Origin is credited to Gabriel Sedlmayr, based on an adaptation of the Vienna style developed by Anton
Dreher around 1840, shortly after lager yeast was first isolated. Typically brewed in the spring, signaling the end of
the traditional brewing season and stored in cold caves or cellars during the warm summer months. Served in autumn
amidst traditional celebrations.
