This was tons better than I was expecting. Pours hazy yellow with a light white head. The aroma thankfully only has a hint of smoke ~ it is mostly helles-like with pale malt, some corn and cream. Medium body with some underscored sharp, but gentle, carbonation. The flavor starts very helles with good solid maltiness, some spicy lightly grassy hops, some graininess and gentle smoke. A bit more smoke comes out on the finish, but nothing that ruins the beer for me.

Sep 4, 2008 Poured a slightly hazy pale yellow. There was a very slight head that quickly dissipated and no lace. There’s nothing on the label except the name that indicates the smokey quality of the beer. And I’d forgotten that about the name. Not bad though. Balanced considering the smoke. Of course a smokey finish. Slight smoke in the nose. Be fun to cook with.

Sep 2, 2008 smoked? well i guess there are slight smoke notes in the aroma, and a touch in the flavour but i’m getting more bready sweet maltiness than smoke in the flavour and aroma. Really an excellent helles, some nice hops round it out, not sure i would consider this a smoked.

Aug 30, 2008 Draught at Blind Tiger. Golden, light head. Smoked pork, bacon, sweet malts, biscuit, and light hops in the aroma. tastes of smoked bacon, sweet malts, some light fruits, and a touch of hops. Very mellow overall. Gets hard to drink after a full pint, but still quite tasty.
