Dimpled mug at the source. First day in town. 4.6%
Frothy but quickly disappating.
Savory-lite nose, Cheerios & salty ham-laced pea soup.
Honey malt, light but constant white campfire smoke, no meat, very high acid that might be the house flavor, saltines, itchy finish.
Carb falls fast & uncovers a tiny bit of diactyl.
Still pretty good.

Draft pour pint, enjoyed at Four Generals. Clean and bright golden appearance. Thin fizz head, active carb. A touch of smoke and wood on the aroma. Pretty subtle. Light brew indications. Very gentle smoke in this lighter helles. No expert on the style by any means, but I feel like they did an excellent job on the level of smoke provided here. It drinks super smooth and easy. Refreshing, and the touch of smoke keeps it going down. I am a big fan of this beer. Excellent execution.
