On tap at Botanica Wine & Beer Garden, pours a cloudy dark amber with a large beige head. Aroma brings out caramel malt and a touch of smoke. Flavour doesn't even have a hint of smoke, with bready malt and lightly sweet caramel. Underwhelming and lacking anything deserving to be called a Bamberg smoked ale.

On tap at Botanica Wine & Beer Garden, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light biscuity malt, a touch of straw. Flavour is along the same lines, with bready malt and a touch of cereal. Soft palate and clean. It's okay.

On tap at Botanica Wine & Beer Garden, pours a clear golden with a large white head. Aroma brings out soapy floral hops, light biscuity malt backing. Flavour is very soapy, with tons of detergent-like, soapy hops and a dry biscuity malt base. Something is off here - too soapy.

On tap at Botanica Wine & Beer Garden, pours a hazy amber with a large beige head. Aroma brings out sweet bready malt, very low on the hops. Flavour is soft, with bready malt and lightly sweet cereal malt. Soft palate and rather warm. It's okay.

On tap at Botanica Wine & Beer Garden, pours a cloud golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out resinous hops and bready malt. Flavour is on the sweeter side for an APA, with cereal malt, caramel and light resinous hops. On the maltier side, but still clean and drinkable. Solid.
