| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 1, 2009 Bottle. A clear, golden beer with a white head. Moderate smoke on the aroma, a little touch of cooked vegetables, a faint note of banana and also some pale malt and hops. Pale malt, some grainy notes, a pleasant smoke touch and hints of bitterness in the mouth. Medium body, and mostly bitterness in the finish, but quite moderate. A lovely lager, better than I remembered it. Surprised me to learn it isn’t smoked because of smoked malt. (081031) Adenila (937), Denmark
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jan 1, 2009 Clear golden with a small white head. Vague smoke aroma along with notes of grain and straw. Sweet malty/corny flavor again with light smoke notes. imdownthepub (5122), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 28, 2008 Bottled, 500ml from Real Supermarket, Bamberg. Gold with white head. Good smokey aroma when opening up, slightly strange having a smokey character in a paler beer, but it works reasonably well. Bonfire and citric, smooth and Saazy hoppy. Weird but interesting. nearbeer (1834), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 18, 2008 500 ml. Crystal clear topaz with a lasting disc of creamy frost on top. Crisp, wheaty grass aroma with some honey underneath. Flavor is a nice balance of the earthy honey vs. the grassy and lightly citrus hops, and then the touch of smoke brings the whole thing up several notches. Near-medium body is creamy smooth and crisply dry on the finish. Pleasant surprise. riversideAK (2671), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 16, 2008 Tap at Uber. Nice aromas of smoked malts, sweet bready malts, and a touch of fruit. Pours a golden color with a nice white head. The flavor is a ton of smoke and bread. Crisp clean finish. A touch of smoke lingers. Easy drinking, really nice smoked lager. gunnfryd (3571), Kristiansand, Norway
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 16, 2008 Bottle. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma is smoke, malt, fruit, orange citrus. Flavour is sweet, smoked, orange, citrus, malt, hop. Nice beer. bconley (351), Fern Park, Florida, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 8, 2008 On tap at Redlight. Very clear yellow with a white head. Didnt really notice that much smokiness, but I hear the bottle retains the smoke better. Nice and light, could have had this all afternoon. Hops were there, not bad.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Dec 7, 2008 Pours straw yellow with a nice foamy white head. Smell is mostly maltiness like a typical European lager. Slight hoppiness, too. Taste is also pretty typical of the style, but with a slight smokiness. I am assuming this is because of all of the smoke beers this brewer makes. The smoke adds a nice little touch.
