Spending a couple of days in Vienna, where it’s quite hot, so here we go. Know nothing about German beers, apart from Weizen and Rauchbier.
A can of Ottakringer Helles from the local supermarket. My first Helles, I’m so excited!
Tastes like bland pils.
Agreed…not a fan of helles.
Maybe they are better in Germany
Or maybe I just don’t like the style. I’ve had more than a few German helles, all of them in very good condition. I just find them bland and boring compared to a N. German pils. If others like them, great…I’m just not a fan.
After drinking several fresh liters under the chestnut trees in Munich I changed my mind. 
Drinking a very opaque " Vienna Pale" in a brewpub. Damn, that’s a confusing name…
And I might also under those conditions!
A Cooked Corn Zwickl.
I’ll be there in 43 days, save some for me
I was try to give the OP a bad time for going to Vienna to try German beers…
Challenge accepted. Name a truly Austrian beer style and I’ll go and drink a specimen.
Ah apparently there’s an Austrian Maerzen, sweeter than the German version. Had a can of that when I got back to the apartment. Caramelly sweet. Ditched it.
I’m heading to Munich in the fall. Now I know what to avoid 
I hear there’s an awesome Roggenbier to be found in Munich somewhere.
The fall?
Drinking a 100 percent German Helles Bock from Rogue.
Autumn.
Harvest.
Anti-spring.
LOL. I’m planning a Franconian beer tour in the anti-spring.
Very funny. Anyway, here’s a picture that shows the height of Viennese cuisine: https://scontent-vie1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xft1/v/t1.0-9/11813346_10153481565588680_3858475389668336951_n.jpg?oh=e0291e2f6e206a0f872e8b1bf978c99d&oe=5652A5EA
Mega biergarten factory. They first fill the glasses with foam, and then slide them on to a second tap to fill then with the liquid beer. Budweiser Budvar. Tasty in its untasty way.
