Smoked Pale Lager (Helles Rauchbier) brewed with 100% smoked malts and Lapsang Souchong, a special type of black tea that is smoked over a pine fire. The malts used in this beer are mildly smokey which present a very calm, gentle smoke character that plays wonderfully with the crisp graininess and subtle smoked pine notes from the Lapsang Souchong.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Brassy gold pour. Small, foamy white head. Prominent smoked malt aroma. Flavor is smoky malt, herbal hops and cut grass. Finishes with hints of lemon pith and earthy grain. Quite enjoyable.

16oz can from Tavour. Golden pour, light cloudiness, fine white head. Smoke leads both the aroma and taste, woody, mild sweetness, ash. Malty with the smoked malts providing almost scotch like flavors.

16 oz can from jcos, 2/2/24. Mostly clear golden color, white head. Smokey aroma, grains, dough, earth, and grass. Fairly smokey early, but it fades a bit. Leans more peat than meat for me. Balanced and well made. What's not to like.

Tap. Pours clear golden, small white head, good lacing. Aroma is hardwood smoke, campfire. Flavor is medium smoke, nice, light grain. Light body. No tea notes, but really nice smoke.
