This is one of our limited edition brews. Honey colored lager infused with the famous Czech Saaz hops. Full hop flavor and aroma while maintaining a balanced hop bitterness.

Bottle. Sour malt aroma with a hint of rubber. Yellow amber with small head. Slightly sweet barley malt flavor with a moderate hops finish. A solid beer - enjoyable to drink.

Cloudy, dull tan. Head does not last. Musty, footy aroma. Slightly flat body. Massive taste of autolyzed yeast. That’s it. All else is gone. Please, if your session beer isn’t going to hold up for at least a couple of months, filter it. Or at least put a date on the bottles so people don’t get screwed.

On draught at Calhouns Feb 2005. Light straw to pale-golden color, rapidly fizzling head. Smells sour again (why do all of their beers smell sour?) with a hint of pils malt, just a hint. Flavor is a mix of honey, almonds and corn, which isnt tremendously appetizing. Light astringent bitterness on the end, very watery. Slightly sharp carbonation, but it dies off quickly. Should be reclassified as a "Pale Lager".

Sparkling gold body that floats a big white long lasting head. The aroma is a little subdued, but clean and in balance. The flavor is malty with a nice bitter finish. Clean and refreshing, but needs more assertiveness.

Acquired via trade. This is the first Smoky Mountain brew I have had that was NOT vinegary. Pours a dark gold color with a medium thin off-white head and mild effervescence. Very thin lacing. Aroma is hoppy but not overly so. Flavor is clean and crisp but not really exciting. Saaz hops are evident throughout. The finish is dry and crisp. Very drinkable but this beer didn't really challenge me in any way.
