What Our Editors Thought
“Central deep charred note with lighter edges of peach and grapefruit. Light malt sweetness in the sip buffers the smoky austerity, but it dries quickly and lingers in the smoky retronasal exhale.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Rich, inviting beechwood-smoke aroma. Initial impression in the flavor is that there is no direct smoke, only your memory of the aroma. You can focus on the malt complexity (light caramel, toast, fresh bread). Then, as the malt sweetness fades, you realize the smoke has been there the entire time.”
What the Brewers Say
“Franconian-style smoke bier.”
