Bottle... GIABMISGFAB... Clear golden lager with a large, frothy, off-white head. Nice beechwood smoke aroma with undertones of biscuit and toffee. Light to medium-bodied with lively carbonation. Moderately sweet amber and pale malts with low bitterness. Thin and watery, but nice smoked flavor. Short, watery finish. Kudos to jayg for providing this rauchbier!

Bottle from Liquid Solutions in Portland, OR. Hazy orange gold color with a nice white head. Aroma of smoked cheese. Yum. Near medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is a hint of sour over smoky malt. Smoked bread. Not so smoky as to overwhelm the beer. Good drink. Lots less expensive than flying to Germany.
