Applewood-smoked malt from the nearby Skagit Valley was added to the base malt bill to give Smoked Helles soft, balanced smoke notes to enhance the gentle maltiness and clean finish of this lager.

Clear deep gold body and modest foam. Maybe some vague sweetness on the nose, but everything is way too faint sadly - I'm smelling this, not snorting it. Taste is honeyed grain with a bit of wood, ending smooth but a little wet. I was hoping for more smoke, it's nice enough but a little suboptimal.

473mL can, pours a clear copper golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out campfire smoke upfront, with light herbaceous notes, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour follows through with a nice campfire smokiness, cereal malt sweetness, and straw. Really like the campfire smoke character with just enough sweetness. Good stuff.

Dull pale, no head. Light smoke on the nose, big smoke on the palate. The malts, they’re a bit sticky for me. For me the base isn’t quite there, but the applewood is solid.

Poured from the tap. Clear gold with small white head. Fairly light smoke with a very mild sour malt.

Can from The Gull, North Vancouver
Bright blond colour, chill haze, medium sized head with some retention. Mild aroma of malt, not smoke (unless you know about it). Mellow malt base, sweetish, with an atypical sour malt note, balanced bitterness (more than American, less than German average). Just an infinitesimal hint of smoke. I had expectations, and I'm quite disappointed. It's a decent Lager.
