Sensory Description:

Pouring a warm copper with brilliant clarity, this Vienna-style lager opens with aromas of fresh bread crust, toasted toffee, and subtle spice.

A soft mouthfeel and restrained bitterness bring harmony to each sip, finishing clean and satisfying with a touch of noble hop snap.

Brewer's Background:

Von Trapp Brewing was born out of Johannes von Trapp’s desire to introduce traditional Austrian lagers to American craft beer culture. Built on the grounds of the iconic Trapp Family Lodge in 2010, the brewery was an homage to the beers Johannes had admired during his travels to Austria. What began as a modest operation has since grown into a respected brewery known nationwide for its dedication to crafting clean, authentic lagers. The von Trapp legacy, rooted in hospitality, heritage, and perseverance, continues to thrive with every pour.

Serving Suggestions:

Best enjoyed at 45–50°F in a Willi Becher or nonic pint glass to enhance its malty bouquet and noble hop aromatics. Pair this Vienna lager with roasted pork, schnitzel, aged cheddar, or grilled sausages to complement its toasty malt depth. It's also perfect alongside warm pretzels or alpine cheeses for a classic Austrian touch.
