A medium bodied lager with light smoke flavor. Red and considerable carbonation. While there is nothing wrong with it, Sam Adams is making a smoked beer for people who don’t actually want a smoked beer. It needs more smoke.

2004 draught @ Redbones. Pours a good looking auburn-amber, clear and filtered but otherwise bright and appealing. Small yellow/cream colored head. Aroma has hints of light smoked wood, a touch of roasted malt and some hints of light toffee. Flavor begins with a lightly sweet malt flavor; hints of molasses and caramel. Flavor blends in to the smoke with a pretty good, real smoky taste. Medium bodied, smooth and creamy. No huge complex flavors, but a decent, very well balanced rendition. You’re not going to confuse this one with Aecht Schlenkerla, but I dont think they were trying to do so.
