Can shared thanks to Alexander. Clear golden. Lots of smoke and bacon, campfire, light malts. This is mostly just smoke on a crisp, medium sweet malt body. Nice, but it's mostly smoke.

Can from Beerdome. Strong smoked bacon aroma with ashy campfire notes, smoked malts, grain, smoked meats. Moderate bitter and light sweetish with tons more smoke in the finish. Body is medium. Superb Rauch.

Can at home picked up from HOTM. A clear golden yellow coloured pour with a well proportioned fluffy white head. Aroma is big birch smoke, rubber, bacon, medicinal edge, smokey, some brown sugars notes. Flavour is composed of pale rustic grains, straw, haybarn fire, smokey bacon, grass, rubber. some tcp notes. Palate is semi crisp, moderate carbonation. Good stuff.

Can online from Raynville Superstore. Pours clear very pale yellow gold with decent white foam. Aroma: bread, mild citrus, wood smoke. Taste: light sweet & bitter, smoked sausage. Very mellow. Light to medium body with foamy carbonation. Lovely, lovely rauch

Can from Against the Grain. Pours clear pale yellow gold with a thick and persistent white head. Much paler than I imagined it was going to be. Aromas of woodsmoke, bread and faint lemon. Taste is more smoke, some bready malt and lemon to refresh things. Light bitter and smoky finish. Nice.
