On a cold winter’s day a beer like this seemed like a good way to warm the palate. A little bit of a mutt it is more helles than rauch. Even so you can detect the smokiness without much effort.

Aroma / Appearance - A bronze body glows under dim lights along with streaks of white head that look like jet trails. Mostly transparent, this is not a very mysterious beer. The nose is light on the smoke but does contain cereal grains, noble hops, and an overall light feel.

Flavor / Palate - The smokiness is stronger in the flavor profile yet still toned down compared to a true rauchbier. The sparkling finish is a solid transition from honey, roses, and wheat toast. Despite not being what I expected this was a fairly refreshing and worthwhile pint.
