What Our Editors Thought
“Fruit, wood, and smoke converge in the nose for an eerily accessible aroma. In the sip, the smoke hit quickly fades into a broader fruitiness amplified by the light residual sweetness. Very drinkable but piquant.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Smoke aroma blends smoothly with the malt—the sweetness of Munich malt complements the smoked-meat character. Smoke stays at the forefront in the flavor with nice malt complexity to buoy it. A hint of floral hops emerges mid-palate before it’s engulfed in campfire-like smoke.”
What the Brewers Say
“Smoked helles brewed with 85% beechwood malt.”
