2.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20 SledgeJr (3579) - Omaha, Nebraska, USA - MAY 28, 2008
In the bomber bottle from Seattle Bottleworks. Pours a light amber/ dark gold color with a thin white head. The aroma is of intense smoke- not Bamberg campfire intensity, but a really pleasant roasted meat variety. This is the best feature of the beer by far. The flavor is very disappointing and lapses into a thin and simple lager. No meatiness, nothing chewy and certainly not smoky enough for me. The body is quite watery. Overall, I can do without this one, but she sure smells nice.

Medium amber with a good whiteish head. Smells like ham or bacon and eggs - very weird and strangely smokey. Flavor is a bit bland and sweet. Interesting but not great.

Clear amber with a fleeting head. Nice smoked meat/jerky aroma. Medium body and smooth. A fairly mild flavor is Helles lager with only a hint of smoky jerky lingering in the finish. A big smoke smell with a light smoke taste was a bit of a letdown for me.

Bottle shared courtesy of Beerzack. Thanks!
Pours amber with an offwhite head and is semi hazy in the glass. Smell is very lightly smoky, and has a strong lager, yeasty and malt quality. Taste is lightly smoky, with sticky lager malt, and a lightly sweet flavor. Somewhat thin bodied and light on the lighter side flavorwise as well. Light carbonation as well. This was decent and drinkable.
