Smoked Pilsner. Everything a Pilsner offers, with a hint of smoke - just because we love it. Clean and refreshing with a balanced bitterness. (Note: this beer was reformulated as a Helles with a completely new recipe in late 2019).

On tap at Godspeed, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light smoke, with biscuity malt, and cereal grains. Flavour is along the same lines, with subdued some upfront, cereal grains, and straw. Nice smokiness here. Solid.

Can from the brewery. 21 Nov. 2018. Pours a brilliant clear gold with a medium, leggy head. Nose is only lightly smoky. Mostly crackery, crisp pilsner malt, herbal citrus hops. The smoke comes through a bit more in the mouth, but it is still light. A bit of bacon and peat. Mostly, crisp, cracking clean malt, peppery hops and a dry, peppery, lightly smoked finish. Very bitter like in Northern Germany. This is beautiful. Unbelievably crisp and clean. The smoke is just a light added touch. I want a mass of it now.

On tap at Godspeed Brewery TO. Clear pure gold colour lasting white head. Smoke aroma. Well it's pretty close to the Schlenkerla but not quite there. Drier. A little more smoke. Dry is finish. But the drinkability of the middle part of the beer is terrific. Just too dry. The beer that overtakes Sweden. Good a golden lager. It's very good.
