The Smuggler was brewed just to have a more simplistic ale, which would work as an introduction to the ale world for those who haven’t dared trying ales before. Our golden ale is easy to approach. There’s a sweet maltiness meeting a bready edge, but also with some flowery and fruity touch in the aroma. Also the flavour does give a slight fruity and flowery touch with a smooth bitterness to it. We use Nelson Sauvin from New Zealand in this brew, which is also said to have some white wine like tones.

(Bottle, 0.33 l - B/N 003 - BB 09/06/2018, from Pien, 20171012) The beer poured pale amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, toffee and earth. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, toffee, herbalness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity, sweet and bitter. A clean brew but the hop profile didn't please me.

Tap at PWF. Hazy yellow colour, small white head. Grainy, papery, a bit fruity aroma. Light-bodied. Citric, fruity, pale malty. Slightly acidic. Not their best.
