Keg at CBC, London. Pours cloud yellow with a faint foamy head. It’s a smokey berliner weisse. There’s definite smoke throughout the aroma and flavor, along with mild tang and moderate sweetness. A interesting marriage (smoke+tangy berliner weisse) and it works very well. (3.8)
Bottle at ChrisO Holiday Tasting, London - thanks to Henrik! Pours cloudy, pale yellow with a fine white foam. Interesting nose, white bread and dough and hints of smoke. Very tangy flavor with definite smoke, some corn. It’s a really odd combination but it does work. Tangy lemon to finish with lingering smokey malts. Fresh and good. (3.9)

Bottle at Craft Beer Co Brighton. It pours cloudy deep mahogany, with a thin off-white head. The nose is chocolate, vanilla, toasted coconut, farmyard, spice, oak and fruit cake. The taste is caramel, chocolate, vanilla, spice, wood, toast, quite sweet, dark fruit, roasted malt, meatiness and farmyard, with a dry, slightly bitter finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Decent stuff.

Odd brew from Westbrook, so you gotta give them some credit on the curiosity factor alone. But it drinks pretty well, too, the smoke and sour creating a surprisingly tasty combination that reminds me of Carolina-style vinegar-based barbecue sauce. Whether that’s good for a beer or not remains open for debate, but this brisk, smoky little tart brew seems to argue strongly in the For column. It’s not pretty beer, and could use a little more carbonation to keep the smoke from growing oppressive as the beer warms. Whatever the fuck that means. And, yes, it does smell a lot like ham. Tasty regardless, and more proof that Westbrook really, really knows how to handle sour beer.

Cloudy light amber color, with some orange. The aroma is peculiar; there is a good balance of mild resins and fruits (tangerines…); light incense, talc; later, some mature apples. Good mouthfeel, smooth and round; the caramel and toffee flavor is sweetish, but more evident is the fruity character, mango and tangerines; there is a mild yeast character too; the moderate sweetness is a good combination with the fruits, it makes a easy-drinkable beer, more drinkable than the medium alcohol content suggests. Long final, still with good presence of bitter oranges.
Maybe a bit rough, but very pleasant. And it comes in cans!
