Commercial Description:
A golden-colored lager beer with a hint of smokyness (from smoke residue in the brewery filters, not smoked malt). Editor’s note: Since this is not intended as a smoked beer, and is not billed as such, it has been classed here as a Helles, despite some samples having residual smoke character. Original gravity: 11.5% Alcohol: 4.3% Bitterness: 30

I really liked this one. Sweet, and smoke, without being overwhelming. About the same smoke as the Alaska Smoked Porter.

Hazy amber color; Medium body; Aroma of smoky malt & subtle spice; Flavor primarily of sweet malt & light hops - with a somewhat smoky finish; Quite different lager - this is a very good brew.

Golden yellow with a loose white foam, thick sheets of lacing. Grainy huskyness typical of a helles mixes with a mild ashy smoke aroma. Taste is grassy, herbal, grainy, tannic, then a light wash of burnt wood, campfire ash, smoke.

On tap at Wildeman. Golden body with tall head. Looks like a pils until you take in the hammy nose. Taste of smoke, and ham. Watery. Also nice malt flavours. Enjoyable.

Average sized frothy white diminishing head. Clear light yellow body. Average malt aroma of grain and cereal. And lots of smoke! Medium body, thin texture, soft carbonation and bitter finish. Moderate sweet and light bitter flavor.

pours a very clear golden color with a medium white head...retention could be better. aroma is very faint and has slight smoke, a touch of hay...malty but not sweet. flavor is malty...pils malt...up front with a subtle spicy hoppiness and nice smoke in the back end. mouthfeel is light and lively with a crisp finish of smoke and spicy hops. refreshing with a perfect amount of smoke.

Interesting find on tap at The Other Side Cafe in Boston. Pours pale golden with off-white head. Aroma has some fruit and a perfumy quality, along with smoke. On the palate the perfume quality is present and the beer is overall very crisp and refreshing. Good accompaniment to the pub fare.

Bottled 50cl. Courtesy of joss. Clear pale yellow with a nice beautifully lacing white head. The smoke component is very subtle in both nose and aroma which is surprisingly hoppy. Great malt and great hop profile. Decent bitterness. Accompanies extemely well indian cooking. A mindblowingly good Helles. Thanks a million joss!
