| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 9, 2006 Bottle sample at Union Beer Trade Tasting, NYC. Light golden with a small white head. Aroma is an interesting blend of fresh lager - bready malt, grassy hops - and well-balanced smoke. Flavour is nice and fresh as well, with a good maltiness to balance the smoke, and some hops hitting the back of the tongue. Not as killer as the Marzen, but a nice diversion - I could imagine this as a good session beer, actually. ante (2928), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 4, 2006 Sampled draught at Akkurat, Stockholm. bronze coloured with rich white head. Aroma of smoked pork, biscuiy malts and grass. Smokey and sakty flavour. with a firm bready malty base. Long smokey and crisp aftertaste that lingers on. beermatrix (1497), Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Oct 2, 2006 Clear medium gold. Medium head of crunchy white foam. Lots of carbonation bubbles after the pour, slows to a few steady streams as it sits and the cap fades. Ghostly thin lacing in inky stringed patterms.
Aroma is smokey with a clean, crisp, pale malt profile. Very distinct and peculiar with a tang of smoked meat and grain. Nice.
Taste is broad and lasting with a savory little spiceyness of grasses and beechwood. Topping taste in the middle of the smokey stuff that stays nicely weaved within a pale malt sweetness and mild, easy going tang. Perfect floating finish of leftover smokeyness and a feathery spiced hoppy dryness.
Feel is bold, rounded, smooth, and solidly placed in a medium body. Nice little centering sweetness and one fantastic finish of spice and impressionable length..
One very solid, straight up goodalicious, Helles Lager! jpm30 (1588), East Central, Georgia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 2, 2006 From a 500 ml. stubby euro brown bottle with no freshness date.
Poured a clear lager golden with a foamy white head that settled into a thin sudsy lacing.
Smokey malt aromas with hints of grain, bread and floral hops.
Good carbonation and a crisp, slick, creamy smooth light-medium bodied mouthfeel.
Delicious tasting, toasted grain and sweet, slightly sugary malts mingled with smoked malts, a light spicy and floral hoppiness, the hop are have a soft bitterness, just enough to balance against the sweet, smoky malts, and a sweet grainy finish with a soft smokiness linger on the tongue.
The more beers I try from this brewery, the more I’m impressed with their quality, you don’t have to like smoke beers to find this very drinkable. Sham (1846), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 26, 2006 Light gold with a small, white and foamy head. Lightly smoky in the nose with a touch of fruitiness. Some grassy notes, but it is a little weak in the aroma department. The flavor is noticebly stronger in the smokiness. The fruits are a bit more along with the maltiness. Almost a lemon quality underlying the smoke. The body is light and refreshing and this is just smoked enough to pique your interest. I liked it.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 14, 2006 THis beer was as good almost as the other before. BUt it was a Lager, BUt with this I do not care what Style is. decaturstevo (1980), decatur, Tennessee, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 10, 2006 A light yellow pour. A clovish aroma slightly overpowers the paper aroma. A crisp clean taste that reminds me of a Kolsch but not hardly as dry. Not a great beer but not bad for what iit is.
