looks like a tasty recipe, and I have to plead my ignorance, but looks like there are 2 sub categories one the o fest the other a Vienna. I don't know the difference but I'm trying to make a beer that is labeled Vienna.
I'm confident this is a good oct. but does anyone have a take on the Vienna style?

Notes:
------
Using 2 WLP940 vials in a 3L starter to get the fermentation off to a quick start. Adding 4oz of dextrose to the boil to lighten the body and finish a little crisper than last time.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my adaptation of Austin Homebrew's Dos Equis clone kit. I made it once before (omitting the included maltodextrin) and ended up with a very fine Negra Modelo-like beer. Hopping was a little light and the malt body a little more pronounced than I would have like so I made some changes, upping the IBUs and adding a little corn sugar to lighten the body. In the first version I used Wyeast 2124 Bohemiam Lager yeast. In this one I'm going with WLP940 Mexican Lager, which I hope will get me closer to the amber cervesa I'm shooting for.

edited to add: The name of the beer is an homage to Señor Misterioso from Archie McPhee. For more on the man, the mystery, the phenominon that is Señor Misterioso, read his story here.
In some circles, the elimination of Señor Misterioso and his atomic suit is of the utmost priority; to others, he is a sought-after dinner speaker, even more so than Henry Kissinger.
