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

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.

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.

Had at Redlight Redlight. Pale golden pour. Flavor was kind of wet straw, a hint of sweet corn, and sugar. Bitter finish.

Pours a light transparent orange, with a fizzy head that disappears quickly. The aroma is very mild, but there’s a lot to it. Sweet malts, primarily. Light brown sugar, bubble gum, and captain crunch with 2% milk. That’s right, I went there. It’s a sweet, earthy corn scent that brings breakfast cereal to mind. The flavor is very mild as well, with a slight hop presence and a very mild smokiness showing through. Incredibly refreshing – this might be the best “hot-summer-day” beer I’ve had yet – but nothing too special.

(10/26/08) Bottle at Spuyten Duyvil in Brooklyn. Clear deep golden color with a white head. Aroma has some smoky notes, malt and grainy notes. Sweet flavor with malt, light graininess, smoky hints, a bit of caramel and faint buttery hints. Medium-bodied. OK.

(Bottle at One Pint Pub, Helsinki, on 2008-11-14) Pale golden. Clear. White head that’s medium sized and doesn’t last long. Grass and fruitiness in nose. Dry palate with medium carbonation. Grassm bitterness, fruitiness and grapefruit in taste. Grapefruit and bitterness in aftertaste.
