An uncommonly coloured rauch, golden with some amber hints, quite transparent. Medium sized white head, average retention and lacing. Quite good intensity in a relatively simple but clean and even slightly fresh-feeling aroma: a slightly fragrant malty base with notes of grain/hay, a hint of hop freshness (grassy?), smoked notes coming out with campfire and an uderlying cheese-like smokiness (provola). Taste feels simple and clean too, good enough intensity: a pretty neutral malty base (hay/grainy), smoked notes as per aroma, a good dose of dry floral notes; restrained sweetness (definitely lacks the soft/sweet base of darker coloured rauchs), average bitterness, feels like a pretty dry beer, but nicely balanced as a whole. Quite light in body, average carbonation, quite easily drinkable as mandatory. Overall: a welcome twist on the style and a pretty good beer on the whole.

Tap. Craft Beer Corner, Cologne. Clear dark gold. Decent dense white foam. Smoke comes across savoury and cheesy. Taste is sweet and also cheesy. Some light bitterness. Drinks easy overall. Nice Rauch.

500mL bottle, pours a clear copper golden with a large white head. Aroma has very mild campfire smokiness, with a soft biscuity malt underneath. Flavour is similar, with extremely mild smokiness, sweet cereal malt, and straw. Carbonation seems higher than average. Timid rauch but clean and pleasant.

Cask at Zum Fransiscaner in Stockholm. Firm lasting white head. Opaque solid yellow color.
A firm smoke aroma that resembles wurst smoke.
Well fermented to give a dry finish.
Balanced bitterness and light malty and yi y smoke in the taste.

Süffiger, herb-rauchiger Beginn. Leichte Süße, rund. Intensiv rauchig bleibend, hell getreidig, langer intensiver Abgang. Gut. 8/11/11/11//11
