This amber lager style originated in Vienna in 1841 and is today nearly extinct there, but finding a resurgence in the US craft beer market. True to original style the key flavor in this beer comes from the Vienna Malt, which provides Malliard-rich light bready malt character in a lighter bodied beer. The deep copper hue comes from the toasted malts used to make this Copper Lager. The hop profile provides enough bitterness and flavor to balance to balance the malty sweetness without overpowering, while the lager yeast strain gives the beer a crisp clean finish.
