This Franconian-style smoked wheat beer is rarely found outside of the Franconian region of Bavaria. Brewed with Rauch pils malt and wheat, open fermented for maximum aroma and flavor. Beechwood smoke, clove, and banana aromas formed from our unique decoction mashing process.

Pours clear gold mliko into a nonick. Foamy head with excellent retention! Sweet smoke aromas. Creamy with bananas flambe and clove front to back.

Draught at Brighton Taproom, 8/19/22. Cloudy lemon. White head shows moderate retention. Wow, been a while since I've had a smoked Weisse. Not sure I've even had more than just Schlenkerla's. Smoked banana, rich wheat, strong mineral with light honey to balance. Clove and little/no bubblegum. Clove up front, very much outdoing the smoked character. Soft wheat and honey with light bread dough and soft pepper. I recognize this isn't supposed to be a glass of bacon but I'd prefer a bit more smoke-to-clove ratio here. Otherwise, it's malty, well-attenuated, clean and drinkable.
