COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Patterned after the beers that made Vienna a brewing center of world renown in the 1800’s, and named after the Roman god of fire. Savor its depth of toasted and nutty malt flavors, rich with history seldom found in today’s world of mass produced beers.

thedm (5207) - Fort Wayne, USA - OCT 31, 2006
This draft brew from the brewery poured a small sized head of finely sized white colored bubbles that was fully diminished and left behind a transparent softly carbonated light orange brown colored body and a good lacing. The weak aroma was sweet and mild hop. The thin mouth feel was tingly at the start with a mediumly tingly finish. The flavor contained notes of malt mild hops and sweet. A decent one but not one that I would consider buying again.

hotstuff (4424) - Indiana, USA - SEP 8, 2006
Draft at Bonfire. Appearance was a small ivory head that mostly diminisihed, transparent, lackluster lacing, no visible carbonation, and an orange hue wth a golden tint. Nose was malty, nutty and a subtle hint of some citrus. Flavor was malty, nutty and a tad bitter. Slightly tingly mouthfeel and light-medium body. Overall lacking in flavor and aroma.

hopdog (10105) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 7, 2006
On tap at the Bonfire Brew Pub. Poured a medim and clear orange color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of toasted malts, and maybe some citrus. I say maybe, because the aromas were on the light side. Tastes of toasted malts and oranges. Thin and watery body. Some lacing left on the glass.

Pailhead (5837) - Plymouth, Michigan, USA - OCT 25, 2005
On tap: Aroma is once again very light. Light caramel and citrus. Pours a transparent amber with a small off-white head. Flavor is lightly citrusy with some orange peel. Flowery hop finish. Reminds me a lot of the Firelight lager, but a tad stronger.

Brad (364) - Berkley, Michigan, USA - JUL 18, 2005
On tap at brew pub: Pours a brownish color which is mostly transparent with no head. Aromas are faint and hard to describe, mostly sweet malts I guess, apples seems right. Flavor was overly watered down, fruits and some candy notes.

SuIIy (1983) - Burlington, Vermont, USA - JUL 15, 2005
Draft at bonfire. Pours a dirty brown, swamp water color with almost no head. Nose is fruity like apples almost. Taste is lite and watery with some cidery characteristics. Has a unique taste I cant put my finger, almost tart.

jtw (1146) - farmington, Michigan, USA - AUG 8, 2004
light amber, looks good enough, lots of carbonation. unenjoyable aroma of rubber, salt, nuts, and some malt. average flavor, some nuttiness and some bitterness, but it’s seriously lacking in body and malt flavor.

JoeM500 (1908) - Crown Point, Indiana, USA - JUL 28, 2003
Thin and weak. Boring beer with just a bit of nutty malt in the middle. Watery and in need of a double dose of malts!!!!

Some raosted nuttiness surfaces once and awhile, but this is a weak brew, thin and bitter and disappointing.
