Draft (growler). Banana/orange and smokey wheat malt aroma. Cloudy golden yellow color with large head. Sweet banana, smoked ham, and wheat malt flavor. Finishes a bit light. Really like this blending - very tasty. (Tasted again Oct 6 - less smoke and stronger weizen characteristics)

On tap at Beer Temple, thanks Potjebier for sharing. Slightly hazy reddish amber colour, off white head. Aroma is quite sweet, lager-ish, fruity, caramel, hint of salty smoke, typical Scottish Ale. Flavour is medium sweet, malty, dark fruits, caramel, nice smoked flavours, typical Rauch-style actually, bittersweet finish. Medium-bodied. Nicely done. But since the Scottish Ale style is there, this should be classified as such imo.
