[Ig-nis] Latin for fire and lightning.

A 'Lichtenhainer' is a historical Germanic beer that is low in alcohol, with moderate acidity and a delicate smoke backbone. We brew ours using oak smoked wheat malt, sour it with our house lactobacillus culture and then ferment it with a neutral ale yeast - resulting in a surprisingly drinkable, low ABV, lightly tart smoked wheat ale.

On tap at House of Funk, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out a nice gentle campfire smoke upfront, with plenty of lacto, tart citrus, and soft wheaty notes. Flavour mixes the smoke and lacto quite nicely, with lots of sour citrus, yogurty lacto, and gentle campfire smoke. Quite bracing actually, with plenty of residual acidity. Works surprisingly well.

Taster. Appearance: hazy blonde with a white head. Aroma: a bit smoky with wheat notes and some salt. Taste: along the same lines, but with much smoke. Overall: meh.

Smells of soft smoke nothing else, has cloudy yellow liquid with little foam on top. Flavour is awkward smoke and vague wheat and some sourness, all working against each other. Mouthfeel is thin from modest carbonation. It's not a good combo here.
