COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
In our not-so-humble opinion, if there is such a place as “beer mecca,” it’s Franconia in northern Bavaria. There, in and around the baroque city of Bamberg, the tradition of smoked beer has been carried over the centuries and is still going strong today. We’ve modeled our smoked white rye lager after the best examples of the Bamberg style, which are delicately smoked, but we’ve also added a wealth of aromatic hops, in proper American fashion.

maybe the best high and mighty I have had. All the smoked beers I have had before were heavy so this is very interesting for me. Colored very light almost white with big bubblely head. lots of effervescence. The aroma is some sweet grain and grass hops with gentle touch of smoke. taste is a bit of flower and again the smoke with bitter comes int he finish. I want a second. Wish this German style smoke beer was more common.
