Style: Vienna
ABV: 5.6%
Eddie’s Rating:





Comments:
It certainly looks like a Vienna lager, being a crystal clear, um … copper, accentuated by a near-perfect, fine-bubbled, cream-colored head. This gives off a nose sporting a nice mix of spicy hops and sweet malt.
The first thing I notice on the sip is that the body is heavier than I expected, which actually jibes pretty well with my Vienna lager assignation. It’s not heavy, mind you—more like just on the underside of medium—but heavier than I would have guessed. Pleasant sweetness starts the sip, a sweetness that turns more grainy and cereal-like in a lingering middle, with a dry, almost abrupt finish, thanks to some hop spiciness. Despite the quick finish, it’s not super clean, especially for a lager, but still neat enough to be pleasant and even refreshing.
This is a nice entry, falling somewhere between a light “lawnmower” beer and a meatier amber. Dynamo Copper Lager’s relatively low ABV makes it a candidate for a session beer as well as a nimble companion for a wide variety of comfort foods … like burgers and pizza.
