Dry limited edition Czech-styled amber lager given mellow spruce tips minting as mild lemon-licked herbage and brown leafy residue waver atop placid caramelized Vienna malting.

VON TRAPP STOWE-STYLE SMOKED HELLES
On tap at Pompton Craft House, worthy Bamberg-styled pale lager with smoked beechwood borders on being a distinct rauchbier – just a tad too light-bodied, arid and less flavorful than regal Aecht brews from Germany. If there’s one beer style Americans, as of 2024, have not perfected, it’s the meat cured rauchbier – most come out soapy, weak, compromised. However, Von Trapp, in collab with Austin-based Live Oak, have crafted a fairly resilient smoked beer. The beechwood smoke brings out subtle salami-pastrami salting in a sweet lager malt setting with mild Noble hop spicing fading into hickory-seared backdrop.
VON TRAPP RADLER WITH GRAPEFRUIT
On tap at Seven Lakes Station, summery radler plies juicy red grapefruit zest to tart lemonade sugaring and lightly salted soda fizz. Serve to fruited light lager fans.
VON TRAPP / TROEGS STOWE-STYLE DUNKELWEIZEN
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, Vermont maple syrup glazes cocoa-dried peat and mild vanilla splurge of easygoing Bavarian-style dark ale.
VON TRAPP GRAPEFRUIT RADLER
On tap at Seven Lakes Station, sessionable ‘light lagered’ radler prickles salty pink grapefruit perfuming with wispy lemony orange zesting and ultra-dry lime brining. Delicate lemonade-sugared pink grapefruit pith, rind and seed tartness settles softly above teasing ginger-licked herbage seeping thru light pilsner malting.
VON TRAPP DRY-HOPPED KOLSCH
On tap at Triton -Beach Haven, dry-hopped kolsch collab with fellow Vermont brewery, Upper Pass, wrings persistent champagne-dried lemon musk, sedate clementine oiling and grassy hop herbage out of white breaded pilsner malt moderation.
VON TRAPP TROSTEN
On tap at Jealous Monk, dewy dark lager with mildest smoked rauchbier influence provides wispy smoke bacon dash for Bakers chocolate, chicory coffee and ashen chestnut whims above cocoa-powdered carafa malting.
VON TRAPP DUNKEL LAGER
On tap at Ambulance, earthen cellared fungi drapes toffee-spiced brown breaded molasses sweetness and distant fig-pecan-walnut scheme to its dewy wet wood bottom. On tap at Seven Lakes Station 2023, raw-honeyed mineral graining spotted.
VON TRAPP KELLER LAGER
Classic German lager retains robustness despite light body. Muskily cellared mineral graining, husked maize dryness and floral lemon twist glide over herbal hop astringency with dead-on precision.
VON TRAPP BOHEMIAN PILSNER
On tap at Plank Pizza, silken boho pils with muskily herbal Euro hop profile gains sour lemon licks, dark floral wisps and mild herbal snips above daintily mineral grained toasting. Sturdily designed.
VON TRAPP VIENNA LAGER
Dewy mineral-grained Vienna malts saturate sour honey musk. Herbal residue leaves grassy fennel trace upon earthy floral undertones and citrus-spiced tease. A slightly sourer Austrian-styled amber lager.
VON TRAPP WEISSBIER
On tap at Ambulance, simple lemon-soured banana and clove snapshot given pale wheat malt setting and herbal thyme cameo. Spritzy lemon zest cuts back stylish banana-clove conflux a tad much. Centrist nicety.
