Spendrups Mellanol

Continuing with the theme of my birthday, we cruised on downtown where I grabbed a quick schooner of Spendrups Mellanol (4.2% abv) which is a nice Vienna style lager complete with a strong Munich malt/ melanoid flavour that works quite nice. The initial taste is malty upfront, but there is a nice grassy hop aftertaste with a lingering bitterness which is surprising for such a malty beer. The pub I was in on the other hand was quite dull and uninspiring, with staff who obviously didn't want to be there. Anyhow, you only turn 30 once so I was making the most of the evening!
