Bottle - pours a light, clear orange - a simple, straightforward, well-executed smoked lager - nose is rich beechwood smoke, with just some clean underlying malt sweetness and light hops to keep the nose being nothing but smoke - soft carbonation, medium to light body - flavor has some toasted marshmallow and campfire goodness - the malt base is simple and clean, really just allowing the smoke to pop - there is some undue, strong bitterness on the tail end, along with some unwelcome acidity on the tail end that I sometimes taste in smoked beer - other than that, though, this one is seriously under-rated.
