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

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.

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.

Poured a clear light yellow color with a small white head. Big smokey aroma. The smell reminds me of the way band-aids smelled when I was young. Not in a bad plastic beer flaw way though. The flavor was lightly malty with pleasant smokey notes. Light body.

Thanks to hopdog. Pours a translucent golden yellow with a smaller bubbly head. Aroma of a chipolta mexican dish, refried beans and a very light smoke. Flavor of the same a bit water and thin.

Bottle acquired in trade with The Beer God. This one was hard for me to nail down. It was all over the board as far as rating the categories. It poured a light golden color with a large sized white head. Looks like a Pale Lager. Then came the nice aromas of strong smoked meat, pepperoni, pork, beef jerky and had a refried bean aroma. The tastes were thin and almost non-existent with tastes of light smoke and a generic light sweetness. The tastes did not live up to the aromas.
