What Our Editors Thought
“Underplayed smoke nose feels a touch too cautious. The sip exudes a fear of overdoing it more than an embrace of what it is.”
What Our Panel Thought
“The nose serves up clean bready malt with a light touch of smoke. The flavor is fairly balanced, highlighting the typical helles sweet pilsner malt and light floral hops, with just a light layer of smoke and a sweet peach flavor. Smoke notes are quite restrained, almost hiding.”
What the Brewers Say
“Smoked rye helles brewed in collaboration with Narrow Gauge.”
