It’s not a smoke beer.
It’s not a tart Berliner Weisse.
It’s maybe a weird saison.
BerlinerRauchSaison. Yes!
Low gravity beer with good presence of wheat. A small layer of smoke malt disappears after a few sips. And light tartness and spice from the Saison yeast.
Refreshing and flavourful at the same time.

On tap at Belmont Station, pours a crystal clear golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma of lightly tart wheat, some subtle smoked notes, and biscuit. Flavour brings out notes smoked malt and refreshingly dry wheat, with only a small hint of tartness. The smokiness wonderfully compliments the dry wheat, surprisingly. Fantastic stuff.

Capped 750 from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours hazy gold with a foamy white head. Aroma is lightly, lightly smoky with something like a non-sour Berliner Weisse background. Med body, almost. Flavor is lightly smoky, and there’s something like earthy lemon. It’s certainly not sour, but it is arguably tart. It’s certainly different, and it’s working pretty well on a hot evening. I’m liking it more and more.

Bottle - bought at the behest of my physicist wife :). Pours clear golden yellow with some small floaties. Medium fizzy white head that dissipates fairly quickly, leaving a residual that nevertheless laces well. Aroma is very saison-like, yeast, grass, smoke, coriander. Flavor is about the same, noticeably but delicately smoky, a bit fruity, a lot of yeast character. Light sweet, no real bitterness. Just a touch of tartness, some peppery spice. Light bodied, prickly carbonation in the mouth. This is quite a nice beer actually!

Pulled up to the bar and fellow ratebeerians had already cracked this puppy so I tossed in to give it a try. Weird brew all around. Pours dull dusty gold. Light smoky, yeasty, fruity aroma. Tastes of peach, pears, banana, smoke, peppery, pale malts and tart puckering. Aftertaste is campfire

Pours pale and cloudy. Some lacing. Aroma has some wild yeast and smoked bbq. There’s some musky sweetness and a small sour finish that leave me exhaling a wisp of smoke. I’m loving this beer- super original. On tap at volos.
