This is a pale lager, brewed to a sessionable 4.2% ABV, and featuring beechwood smoked malt from Weyermann in Bamberg. This beer is absolutely fabulous as a thirst quencher while you’re standing over the BBQ, and reaches new levels of enjoyment when you pair it with food.
Just to make sure we were doing it right, we went back for a week to Bamberg, visiting our friends, favourite breweries, and of course, the Weyermann maltings. We’re very happy to report that all systems are definitely go. When you bring a lager to Germany and celebrated brewmasters are enthusing about how good your beer is - and especially your head retention - well, that’s validation enough for us!

On tap at Moor Beer Vaults, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of ashy smoke, bready malt and a touch of straw. Flavour is smoky, with bready malt, moderate smoke, and straw. Good smoke character and thoroughly dry bready malt character.

1/2 pint draft @ Moor Vault taproom.
Couleur pâle, col blanc-cassé fin crémeux.
Arôme sur un délciat bouquet bien fumé - de suite cette sensation de fumé allemand - ici, cela est généreux avec ce bouquet bbq porcin-bacon, petite note de pâle voire d'un léger caramel en rétro-nasal. L'apport des houblons est léger et donne un léger effluve noble.
Palais est délicieux avec une franche note de fumé sans tomber dans le surfait. Amertume vient balancer un peu tout cela. Lger, et facile à boire.
De loin ma préférée des quatre brasseries visitées ce jour avec Vincent.

On tap at the Bermondsey location. Pours a clear pale yellow with a slight gold hue and a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a nice campfire smoke with light smoked meat and a bit of sweet grains supporting. Flavor has a nice meaty smoke with a bit of jerky and sweet grains backing.

330ml can form Honest Brew. Look - slightly hazy gold, small white head, nice retention. Nose - smoked bacon, ham, salt, pale malts. Is this a form of liquid dinner? Yikes! Taste - yes its smoky with a ham like note but its balanced by pale malts, grass, semi-sweetness, a touch of fruitiness and tang in the finish. Quite nice. Palate - light to moderate body, average carbonation. Not sure its my thing but it certainly was an interesting beer.
