Smoked beer is an acquired taste. So is sour/funky beer. We’ve acquired those tastes, as a result we present to you this Lichtenhainer: a 100% barrel-fermented, 100% beech-wood and oak smoked malt sour wheat.

Historical Beer - Lichtenhainer ✅ That’s way funky, the smoked malts and the tart body strangely work together well. But in terms of flavor, a little goes a long way.

Bottle at Craft Islington, big thanks to JK. It pours cloudy pale yellow - gold with a white head. The aroma is earthy, musty, funky, smokey, cracker, salted lemon, lime and wood. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, minerals, salted lemon, mild smoked meats, lime, lactic acidity and wood. Medium body and moderate carbonation. I like the balance of this quite a lot. Great for the style.
