Also known as Joseph's Brau, hence the initials JB on the bottle cap, Trader Joes Vienna Style Lager is brewed in San Jose, California. Shawn's wife Hanna made a special stop for us to build a couple of six packs on her way home from a business trip in Missouri. This was one of the samples she brought back.
As most of you know, I am a huge fan of darker lagers. This beer was no exception. It poured a nice copper color with a solid foamy head. It smelled a little sweet and malty. The flavor was smooth and rich. I got kind of a toasted caramel flavor. The finish was easy with just a little bit of a hoppy bit at the end.
This one was a total winner for me. A box of these on a cold winter day will really hit the spot!
