My Turn: Hopgood Vienna Lager

After a long day of hand-packing bottles and cans into Lakefront Variety Packs, Mr. Hopgood wanted a beer he could enjoy in front of the TV with a basketball game on. This Vienna Lager has the right amount of interesting malt intricacy while still staying sessionable, which is perfect if the game heads into overtime.

As reliable as the man himself, Vienna Lager is what you’d call a daily driver. This copper-amber beauty promises toasty and malty-rich aromas with a whiff of floral and spicy noble hops. A sip delivers malt complexity up front with fresh bread and rich, toasted malt flavors, followed by a solid hop crispness and a clean, classic lager finish.
