Wishbone Brewery- Straus Vienna Lager (4.9% ABV)

Hi there fellow beer lovers,

Welcome back to the Enternal Hoptimists! Now our regular readers will know that we are not big lager drinkers, but I was lucky enough to try this one when I was out and about, and as it was not your typical lager I picked one up for John to have a try.

  1. Name: Straus
  2. Brewery: Wishbone Brewery
  3. Aroma :  fairly strong hop and malty notes.
  4. Appearance : Dark amber in colour, with a good tight head.
  5. Body :  medium bodied, well carbonated with good head retention
  6. Taste :  Strong German hop background, with a striking malt that trickles through giving you a full mouthful of flavour.

Really shocked by this one, never had a Vienna Lager before, definitely one for the Beer boys and not the Lager Lads. Packs quite the kick, but I would definitely go to the bar for another one.

Our overall rating: 3.7/ 5.0
