A nuanced blend of smoked malts on top of a refined bready backbone. This perfect food-pairing beer is reminiscent of a chilly, damp morning in the forest, on the river, with everyone’s wood stoves spitting hardwood smoke just above the top of the trees.

Can from Bine & Vine. Pours clear gold with a large foamy white head. Aroma is definitely smoky. Med body or so. Flavor is smoky. Smoky enough to obfuscate the malt and hop. Dry and somewhat bitter, but smoke is the thing. It has an astringent aspect. Good stuff.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated March 23, 2020. Aroma is malt forward with medium light grain and biscuit notes. Light smoke and hints of floral, woody hops. Pours a very clear, somewhat pale gold with a large, thick, pillowy white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges. Moderate lacing and no legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light grain notes and a bit of biscuit and cracker. Light, sweet, smokey notes with a hint of fruitiness. Light herbal, floral hop notes and a hint of alcohol. Mouthfeel is light bodied and crisp with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a tasty lager. The smokiness adds a nice complexity and is well balanced with the sweet malt notes and woody, floral hop notes.
