Kissed by Smoke, is a lovely example of a German-style smoked Helles Lager. Golden/Pale in color with a nice cracker-like Pilsner malt character, balanced bitterness, and a nice kick of smoky malted barley! Hearty, yet refreshing.

Reviewed from notes.
On tap at C.H. Evans on 07/03/2020.
Appearance: golden yellow to almost copper color with some transparency and a thin cap of a little bar pour's kind of white foamy head which settled off nicely to leave some light messy sticky lace
Aroma: sweet smoke; light clean biscuity malts, a whiff of caramel sweetness and a little ham sweetness at the very end
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet smoky maltiness; finishes the same way
Texture: light to medium bodied, very sessionable; very good smoothness and nothing distracting anywhere
Overall: nicely done smoked beer I would very willing to return to if I could.
