Aecht Schlenkerla Helles Lagerbier

A yellow beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is smoked - reminds me of tared rope. The flavor is sweet and lovely smoked - giving it hints of tared rope, combined with strong notes of wood, leading to a dry end. Nice. Thanks Dalle for getting this.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, pilsener-golden beer with a small, white head. Faint smoked aromas and some sweet malt in the flavour. Weak smoky notes that are rather enticing - because of their lightness. Fresh and surprisingly easy to dring for a "Rauchbier". Brauerei Heller really cannot stay away from smoked malt - no matter what the base beer is. 300605
