Iv never made a Vienna lager so I couldnt really say. Its a nice light, sort of citrusy hop id say. Not strong in flavour. I would say it suits a really pale crisp lager which isbwhat I have albeit I think its a bit too high in abv..... Maybe @foxbat could offer further guidance.
Im not sure your European, darker malty lagers have much in the way of late hops do they?
Time for one of my own. Summer Breeze.
I can confirm, Belgian beers definitely taste better when served in a chalice. First up, a bright little blonde. Clean bready malts, subtle yeast phenols and a dry finish. Trying hard not to chug it down, it’s a 7%er and I’ve got a couple of its bigger siblings lined up for later.

Going down far too quick tonight but I am on my own as the rest of the house is sick or working. Hillstown brewery (get er brewed) spitting lama triple 7% last time I had this I wasn’t a fan. Someone bought me a mixed bag from Tesco and I feel I had a bad bottle before. This is very nice and the spicy nuts help. Lovely mouthfeel to it the aroma is bready larger like

I have one of those glasses and I agree. You have to be careful drinking it with such a wide top but it feels very “french lord”
Mrs70 wanted and old fashioned, but I’ve still got my eye on the Quad so I’m not joining her.
I truly thought you were talking about eyeglasses. I thought if they were cool, like Elton John's, then sure. Glad they were beer glasses. Very nice.
I've a lot of no-nick (?) 568ml (?) and tulips. That's it...except for my four sets of flight glasses.
That was a little misdirection on my part, the Northern Irish sense of humour can be a bit peculiar.

Quad time. It’s phenomenal. The aroma is hot buttered sourdough toast. I’ve got every dark malt flavour all going on at the same time, dark caramel flavours predominate with dark chocolate notes standing out in the background. Full body, smooth almost creamy mouthfeel and a long finish with a residual sweetness that coats the tongue but isn’t cloying in any way. It’s just amazing.

Just finishing this tonight @Donegal john. I think I may of been to far gone the last night to fully appreciate the complex flavour of this beer. It has everything going on

I will be opening another one early tomorrow night to see as I was also 3 sheets to the wind on trying. But I remember it being a damm good beer. Very subtle whiskey flavour from memory.

Now I’ve finished it, I’d like to take back the dark choc comment. It had everything else but no roasted grain flavours. What a stunning beer to finish out the year with.

Keep an eye out for this one for complex flavours. An amazing beer that blew my mind wide open to how different Belgian beers can be.

It's a fresh, crisp, minty, herbal hop that's very good for flavouring a lager. It's also meant to be good for bittering.
something from here.....
