Common descriptors are
The good old kiwi Smoko. Idleness! Indolence! Actually, we’re a little envious. If we ever took a break, we’d do it with a bacon sandwich and a beer. If only we could combine the two... Smoko is our take on a Bamberg-style Rauchbier (literally "smoked beer"). Beechwood smoked malt gives a bacon-on-bread flavour, smoothed and integrated by 6 weeks of lagering, while the zesty European hops provide a zingy and refreshing bitterness to help wash down that tasty treat. Enjoy while shirking responsibility.
