Slightly honey-like aroma, some smoke too. Smooth palate - soft but pleasant carbonation. Sweet soft body, slightly honeyey, and with gentle smokiness. Maria (6167), Thisted, Denmark
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 9, 2008 Golden with a big, nice and creamy head. The aroma has weak notes of smoke, light flower and malt. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of flower, light citrus, light malt and it’s smooth and pleasant. I only find the smoke in the aroma. alebrewer (121), Mentor, Ohio, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 6, 2008 Light lager aroma, you have to search for the smoke. You’d miss it if you didn’t know it was there. First taste I definitely tasted the smoke, but just a hint as described. It definitely makes this otherwise ordinary lager a little special. bluemeow76 (693), Lewis Center, Ohio, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 27, 2008 Drank as part of my beer tour at Winking Lizard. It was decent. I did not detect the so-called "smokyness" from the commerical description. It was light, kind of wheaty and sweet flavored. Dogbrick (2855), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 20, 2008 Bottle at Winking Lizard. This brew is a hazy yellow-gold color with a thin white head that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing. Aroma of malt, grass and smoke. Medium-bodied with a subtle smoked character, and flavors of bready malt and grassy hops. The finish is clean and sweet with a smoked malt aftertaste. Slightly above average overall. frylock (1024), Buffalo, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 18, 2008 Golden colored beneath a tight white head. Biscuit like doughy malt aroma. Crisp clean malt flavors with hints of smoke in the background and just a touch of lemony hops in the finish. Quite nice. BeerGestapo (738), Windsor, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 16, 2008 Updated: Jun 28, 2008(German) Bottle shared by the Knights. Pours a golden yellow with a sm-white head. There is a slight skunky aroma to this brew, but the taste is of smoked meat, with a dry finish. Not bad, but i don’t think i could drink a few of these back to back. TheCaptain (549), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 16, 2008 Another shared with the Dev-Knights. Pale gold pour with a white head. A light grain aroma with the smoked body kind of at the back end, not overpowering. Some complexities but overall refreshing and rather light, no real bitterness at all.
