What the brewers say
“A soft touch on the smoke complements this helles-style lager.”
What our panel thought
“Mild smoke in aroma; sweet, light, biscuit-cracker malt is a nice complement. Light grainy sweetness, a touch more than your average helles. Slight bitterness clashes with smoke. Overall very enjoyable.”
What our editors thought
“Deep, charred woodsmoke on the nose. The sip sweetens things up a bit to buffer the intense wood—a tough task for a light-bodied beer. Sharp edges throughout—rough and unyielding.”
