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

bottle thanks to blutt59. very pale yellow pour with no head. very slight smoke scent along with a slight malt smell. the smoke definitely shows through in the flavor but, the flavor is still a bit bland.

Decent offering from Brauerei Heller. Depending on where you read about this beer you might get the impression that there is no smoke malt in this beer. There has to be or it’s residual from the other smoke beers made there. Slighly smokey lager bier that drinks like a good export lager. I like it and it’s a good way to wean someone onto Rauchbier...

On Tap @ Oldsmar Tap House. Pours a clear golden with a small white head that leaves some laccing. Aroma of smoke and a touch of sweet pilsner malt. Taste is the same as aroma with the sweet pilsner malt really coming through in the finish. Medium mouthfeel with a mild to moderate amount of bitterness. Very good.

Pale gold, with fizzy white top. Woody, grainy, gentle forest wood smoke like. Sweet malts behind, with light berry notes. Medium bodied, with gentle smoky overtone. Regular decent lager but with smoky character. Nice balance here. Refreshing and very drinkable "smoke

Poured to a golden beer with a small head. Initial taste was slightly sweet followed by a hint of smokiness that I was expecting. Quite memorable.

On tap at the 2008 PIB--Poured a clear golden-straw body with a small white head. Mild smoky nose with a crisp spicy hop and malt profile. Dry, grainy, smooth and highly drinkable. Not as smoky as other Aecht smoked brews. Nice!
