Pint can pours with a crystal clear pure gold body that supports a thin white head off foam. The aroma offers up soft clouds of beachwood like smokiness that's thinly ringed in bacon and then mild notes of the malty base. The taste delivers a pleasing level of smooth smokiness that has that thin rim of inviting pork. Like the nose the smoke gives a little ground to a thin sweet maltiness that only offers up the faintest of fruity esters. Solid easy drinking rauch-er. The only 'knock' for me would be it could use more smokiness. But that's me.

Can. Rich amber beer with a cream head. Malt and light some aroma with light mineral notes. Light caramel and smoke flavor with light mineral notes. Medium bodied. Light caramel and smoke linger with light grass.

On tap at Wayfinder, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is actually fairly subdued on the smoke, with toasted malt and some campfire character. Flavour is much more full on with the campfire smoke, with some ash, lots of dry smoke, and dry toasted malt. Low sweetness, not very meaty kind of smoke; just lots of campfire and toasted malt. Excellent.

Can - clear medium gold - lively carbonation - nose is floral with a moderate (bordering on heavy) smokiness - dry aroma, but with some slight underlying honey-like malt sweetness - body has a moderate malt richness, but gets a little watery in the finish - flavor is dry and lightly bitter up front, followed by intense smokiness and moderate sweetness on the tail end - lightly floral, with some mild background rusticity I can’t quite place - has some flaws, but overall enjoyable, with the level of smoky intensity I enjoy in the style.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours brassy gold with a large foamy white head. Woodsmoke - not so much smoked malt? - for aroma. Med body. Flavor is quite smoky. Dry. Green stuff for bitter. Not fruit or floral. Decent rauchbier. Smoke is not going away!

Pour is a crystal clear gold with a large white head. Aroma is a nice pleasant smoke with some bready malt as well. Flavor is a little more intense smoke than the aroma let on. Meaty and rich with some campfire notes. Finish is clean and gone in a second. Decent rauchbier, if your looking for smoke in your beer you've found it.

Pale amber with thin white head. Light smoke with biscuit aroma. Smoky malt but the smoke doesn't overwhelm the malt. Crisp beechwood and lager finish.
