Helles Schlenkerla Lager recieves its subtle smokiness through bottom fermentation with yeast from Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier. Regular Helles Lager is clear and yeastless due to the filtration before bottling.
This specially unfiltered edition however retains the natural haziness and the yeast with its fresh and smoky character. A rare and special treat, not only for smokebeer lovers.

Bottle. Slight hazy pale golden with fluffy white head. Grassy, crisp malts, subtle smoke, earthy, dough, a touch of cream, bitter weedy hops. Just medium sweet, more bitter. Medium bodied. Not bad!

Tap at Little Devil. Pale blond, clear, stable head. Just a delicate smokiness backing up a solid lager. It makes a big difference. If only more lagers were like this.

Bottle, 0.5l. Cloudy golden pour, three finger creamy white head, long lasting. Sticky lacing on the glass. Nice on the nose, clean, crisp, fresh. Malt, grains, grass. Light spicy notes in the background. Light to medium body, soft carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, lightweight, soft, easily drinkable. Nicely balanced bittersweet taste with mild citric sour hints. Aroma of malt, grains, hay. Minerals, spice. Herbal notes, subtle lingering hop bitterness. Light citrus touches. Short lasting finish, mild lingering bitterness, slightly dry. Enjoyable thirst quencher.

Cloudy golden with a large white head. Aroma had subtle smoke, biscuit malt and light fruit from the Mandarina Bavaria hops. Over the palate came fruity hops, smoke, chewy malt, light bread and lingering bitterness. A masterpiece with high drinkability.

Bottle from the Gull. Sort of a dull hazy body. Thick head. Yeasty aroma, gloppy pale malts and a gentle smoke. On the palate, thick pale malts, medium bitterness. Plenty of smoke, more than I remember the Schlenkerla Helles having, but then again this is an export product so maybe they punched the smoke up a bit for the Yanks. It's yeasty, but just in that immature bready sort of way. Decent, certainly that bit of smoke is more to my taste than the filtered version from the brewery. But at the same time, it's not in the class of Spezi U.

Bottle from The Gull, North Vancouver; bb 01/2023
Cloudy blond colour. Delicate aroma of crackers, bread, smoke. Dry mouthfeel; nice crackery malts, it's almost like biting a biscuit, the feeling is enhanced by the delicate smoke; it has robust bitterness, and some malt acidity (that I could be happy without). Atypical, but very good.

500ml shared with Ryan in Alex's garage. Appearance: hazy straw with a white head. Aroma: raw water, malty, dirty. Taste: along the same lines, herbal hops, quite bitter aftertaste. Overall: good for what it is.
