(draft) at the brewpub. Nose is strong with ash, salt and sulpher. good smoked flavor with a minor rotten egg background. Good.

Hazy blondish amber. Thin head. Has quite a bit of smoke on the nose - beech. Thin body so not a lot of malt but w a lot of smoke still.

Draft at brewpub. Hazy golden yellow, white head. Fun smoky aroma, pale malt. Soft palate. Remains smoky and peaty with a nice smack of pale malt. Fun but is also thin. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

My Bottom Line :
Smoked salmon allusions ride mild bready sweetness in this dryish, very drinkable brew.

Further Personal Perceptions :
-A veil of foam covers the pale amber-hued golden.
-This is drier than most beers from BdTemps. A nice change of pace.
-The prickly carbonation and grain bill flavors do not recall any German-made Rauchbiers. This is more akin to a Smoked Golden Ale, or something in that realm.
-A little more softness in the mouthfeel (natural carbonation and pils malts, for example) would help this beer reach greater heights (in my tastes, anyway).
-This is a nice introduction to smoked beers for those who might be reticent to drink such a brew.

Drought at Les Brasseurs du Temps, Gatineau on 6 July 2011. Red-amber color, off-white spongy big head, woody aroma, smoky flavor, medium carbonation, abrupt finish. Very good beer.

Pours a golden yellow with a thick frothy white head. Aroma is smokey deli meats with spices. Taste is again smoked deli meats with a small campfire followed by dark roasted malts.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours a semi-clear orange with a small creamy white head. Aroma of smoke, toasted malt and fruit. Nice easy-to-drink flavour follows the aroma but with the smoke being more subtle. Average to medium bodied. I quite liked this.
