| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 28, 2009 Pours a golden color with a white head. Aroma is mostly smokey with some graininess, and a hint of hops. Lightly smoked but not overbearing with some malty flavors and a slight hop character on the finish. Overall not too bad.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | May 26, 2009 Smells smoky. Looks like a boring lager with very little head soon. It’s weird because its smokiness is its main attribute. The palate is not too complex.A little disappointing for a German beer. jeffc666 (1889), Fairfax, Virginia, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 26, 2009 Yellow body lasting white head. Lightly smoky sweet smorgasbord aroma. Flavor is similar. I find it lovely. Very quaffable. cmillward (430), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 23, 2009 Draft @ redlight redlight. Pours blonde with a ring of creamy white head, leaving some nice lacing on the glass. Light Bamburg smoke, creamy lightly toasted malts, touch of noble hops. Smoke is much less prominent in the flavor, but otherwise similar to the nose, sweat light malts and clean, crisp light hop finish. Light and lush in the mouth. Very nice. alraicercsu (166), Ft.Collins, Colorado, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | May 14, 2009 Bottle. Poured a golden yellow color with a white head. Smelled of grain and little hop. Flavor was a little too spicy. Wasn’t overly impressed. Barrios (858), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 24, 2009 Bottle pours a clear golden body and an eggshell head with legs and light lacing. Smells of clean grain and spicy hops. Flavor is the same as the aroma. Finish is a little metallic and yeasty. lassem (304), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Apr 22, 2009 Pours a sparkling clear yellow with a traditional thick but white fading head. The aroma is smoky combined with yeasty notes. ..clearly they use smoke-malts in this one too. The taste is rather pale and lager-like with a certain freshness going on... then the smoky finish hits you and the taste grows a bit. In the end you sense the yeasts again. The taste is not bad actually.The palate is pretty watery. KnN (721), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Apr 4, 2009 My own fault. Had I known this was a smoked beer I wouldn’t have even poured it. Poured a nice yellow/amber color with a decent white head. One whiff and I knew I’d made a mistake, althought the smoke wasn’t nearly as overpowering as it can be in other smoked beers. The flavor is smoke with a bit of a sweet undercurrent. Trying to think of what this might pair well with. . . maybe smoked salmon? Smoked beers are just not my thing, but this one wasn’t awful.
