Bottle with many thanks to kappldav123! Hazy golden with a tall white head. Dusty nose, tart and sourish flavours, wheat and slightly yeasty-fruity. Lively carbonation.

Pale yellow colour with lasting low density head. Aroma of whey and perfumed soap. Taste has a fresh, citrusy sharpness. Light, leathery smokiness too.

0.5 l bottle from 'AleHub', best before June 2023. Hazy, golden with a medium large, foamy, almost stable, white head. Slightly sweetish, minimally sourish, moderately fruity and maybe a little smoky aroma of lemon peel, sauerkraut and pickles. Slightly sweet, minimally sourish, moderately fruity and a little smoky taste of grains, sauerkraut, pickles, lemon peel and a touch of smoked eel, followed by a short, minimally tart, gently dry finish. Thin to medium body, fairly effervescent mouthfeel, average to lively carbonation. Very refreshing, superbly balanced Lichtenhainer, only faintly smoky and hardly sour but totally harmonious. Great session stuff.

Smell of smoke, faint tart. Golden colour, white head. Aroma of wheat, yeast, straw, spices. Finishes with smoke and peat. Wild carbon. Medium sour, also lightly bitter. Rather harsh.

Very good, ultra-dense & fine, just off-white head, lacey, over cloudy yellow beer. Phenolic, lactic acid, smoke, mineral, various herbs, dried lemonpeel. And ironoxide wafting from the (too) stable head. Smoke more outspoken in the flavour, Rauchmalz, ham, bit refreshing and a bit lemony (the wheat?). Not really sour, less phenolic than the nose, and pretty balanced! Light body, very good carbonation, head giving a creamy feel. Another oh-so-interesting revival. Like it, really. Txs to Joren for bringing!

Bottle at Salon piva. Light sourness, med-light bitterness, slightly minerally. Quite light smoke, med-light bready wheaty flavour. Overall pretty characterless though, very neutral, nothing really stands out. Drinkable, but not great.

500 ml bottle, from Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 4.3%. Pale golden colour, large white head. Wheaty aroma, hints of fart and smoke. Fizzy mouthfeel. Medium sour flavour, notes of lactic acid and lightly smoked wheat malts, also some fruity notes reminiscent of yellow plums. Low bitterness. Not bad, not great, historically interesting - but there is probably a reason that the Lichtenhainer beer style died out.
