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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
