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

50cl bottle. Pours hazy golden with a full white head. Very hayish & bready with that typical punchy smokey note. Leather & tar! Medium bodied. Difficult for me to like!

Pale golden thin white head with some lacing light noble hops aroma with notes of smoke. Flavor is mild finishes with some grassy hops. Malt body carries a little hint of meaty smoke

Pale golden color with a quickly descending head. Slightly smoky aroma, but mostly smells like a good German lager. The taste is smoky but it is far more subdued than the other beers from this brewery. It is mostly in the finish and the aftertaste. Otherwise there is a smooth slightly hoppy taste in the beer. It is like a rather good lager with a rather good twist to it. But then again I just love this brewery.

bottle, EBF 2008 not much aroma, clear yellow small white head, sweet, dry, sandy taset, palate is spongy overall too weird imo. re-rate bottle at home rated at best before date. clear dark yellow, nice head. slightly smoked, sweet, slightly hoppy, a bit dull aroma. flavor starts slightly smoked. as smoked meat?, gets sweeter and morphs into quite metallic.then the aftertaste turns smoked again. real weird. following sips did not have the metallic tinge to them and felt much less weird.

Bottle from Wine and Cheese Place in (near) St. Louis, MO. Amber tinged gold color with a frothy, quasi-lacing, white head. Light smoky aroma. Medium body with coarse carbonation. Flavor is smoke, and almost something green veg. Not a lot of bitter, but enough to do the job. Comes across spicy as well as smoky. Must be a lot of noble hop - now I see it’s 30 IBU. Very tasty and refreshing beer. Far from boring.

(50cl bottle, courtesy of blutt59) Pours a pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of fireworks smoke, butterscotch, and hot melting plastic. Flavor of lightly smoked meat and some grassiness with a watery mouthfeel.
