A classic German-style helles lager brewed with a delicate touch of smoked malt. Discreet Charm pours a pale, straw yellow with hints of smoked applewood & campfire aromas, followed by notes of toasted grain, white pepper & toffee. Traditionally step-mashed, matured for over 5 weeks & naturally carbonated.

On tap @Churchkey. Full pour. Clear, frothy, pale gold. Semi-sweet beef smoke, half strength. Honey. Semi-sweet grain, light charcoal, bitter steel-earthy hops, lemon & moderate meaty smoke. Finishes off-dry with only some gentle soot & annoying lingering acid. Middling on the rauch scale, better than most else on tap.
