On tap at the brewpub. Pours a cloudy gold/straw color with a thin, soapy white head. The smell is very smoky, with a lemon/lactic tart background, and a hint of bread. Crisp, clean taste. Starts slightly lemony, followed by a big wallop of smokiness, and ends clean, dry, and slight acidic. This beer, it seems to me, is the love child between a Rauchbier and a Berleiner Weissbier. Well done Bill and Scott! It’s great to see something like this in the area. I thoroughly enjoyed the chance to try it and I hope I’ll be down to have so more. I think it’s cool that it’s only 3%. For lightweights like me, I can have a few and not be a total ass. Refreshing, intriguing, interesting, drinkable, and delicious.

Aug 28, 2008 Pours a hazy yellow with a thin white head. Aroma keeps switching off between a nice lactic tartness, some oak, and some smoky hints. Tastes minerally with some nice tartness. Some smoky hints emerge as the beer warms. Earthy grassy finish. This reminds me of a cross between koduolo and gose. Good stuff!

Jun 17, 2008 Pours an extremely hazy light pale yellow color with slight fizzy white head. Aroma is very very grassy with a bit of citrus. Flavor is grassy like a dortmunder, tart but not fruity. Dry and a bit bitter. Slight smokiness to it. Overall, interesting.

Jun 13, 2008 Updated: Jun 15, 2008Another great by East End. This is the ultimate lawnmower beer. Nice floral aroma with light malt and yeast in the background. Pour was a nice medium gold with a 2 finger white head. Taste was very drinkable and refreshing. Light malt and smoke in the front that gives way to a lactic sourness in the aftertaste. As I had more of this the smoke gets stronger. A definate plus! Little carbonation, but the flavor stands on its own. Some yeast and lemon come out as it warms. Great beer!

Jun 1, 2008 A very interesting brew. Sampled at Pints for Pets. Pours a hazy peach flesh color with a small foamy head. Aroma is a little bit of spicy fruit. A sweet pruny caramel nose. Has a sweet yet smoky flavor. Very sour with a light bitter bite at the finish. Complex with a lot of bready characteristic. Medium body with a light carbonation.
