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 at Novare Res. This pours a golden yellow color. The aroma is pretty dominated by smokiness and some sweet malt. The flavor is really nice, it’s like a nice clear lager flavor but with that rauchbier smoke flavor. I like this beer quite a bit!

Pours a golden yellow color with minimal head. Aroma is of grassy wheat. Taste does feel like a lager passed through a smoked filter. Just a touch of the smoked note. Sessionable.

Bottle. Clear golden colour with a medium white head. Malty bit smokey aroma. Malty pilsner like taste with hints of smoke. Pleasant and easy to drink smoked.

Pours a nice gold straw colour with a thin white head. Nice light smokey aroma, not overpowering. Medium body and nice malty taste with a good balanced smoke flavour

Alright! been wanting this for a while ..pours a golden colour with a somewhat small head .. almost no lacing after a while .. first impressions, uhh, smells like a corn filled bmc, then mellows to an underlining smoke with some honey and slight burned wood ... tasty stuff, just a touch of smoke, some sweetness, a great starting out beer for the Superbowl! .. also would be a beer to give someone just getting into smoked beers..a strange but fun little brew, it needs some kind of smoked meat to make it perfect...WL cross off: originally put on 7/18/2006 ...

Bottle. Nose-smells like fresh cut potatoes and honeycomb. Body-honey with a thin ring of bubbles. Taste-very light smoke, honey, almost wheaty, perfumey on the backend, light sweet plastic, light corn syrup. Not bad for a smoked beer.

Bottle. Poured pale yellow with a fizzy white head that settled quickly. Aromas of grain, malts and a light smoke. The flavor has a lot more smoke in it backed with malts. Light body, dry, and a light smoke aftertaste.
