Tap @ brewery. I believe this is different than the smoked lager, but I could be wrong. Clear, golden orange appearance with an off white head. Light meaty smoky, caramel, earthy, grassy aroma that is fairly mild. Tasty, pork meaty, smoky, chewy, caramel malty, a bit earthy flavor. Tastes great but the aroma is pretty mild.

Tap @ brewery. Dark golden appearance with an off white head. Mild smoky, slight bbq/bacon, toasty malty nose that’s not that assertive. Moderate smoked woody, bacon, toasty malty flavor with a slightly burnt, bitter finish. The aroma is a little passive.

[The first time I had this, the yeast was still pretty present - this second go around, the yeast has dropped out - I guess the yeastiness was masking some stuff, because now there is a fairly sharp acidity - still good, but not great ] Hazy golden pour with a pillowy head - the unmistakeable smell of beechwood smoked malt fills the nose, along with light notes of acidity and mild sweetness, but the smoked malt is the star in the nose - creamy mouthfeel, moderate sweetness - the smoke is not as pronounced in the flavor, but present enough to satisfy, adding a nice woody earthiness to the overall experience - finish is moderately bready, with moderate spicy hops - smooth and very well balanced - I would like even more smoke in the flavor, but it is still damn tasty.
