opalescent golden colour, large, dense and quite long laston white head; aroma of smokey-bacony, yeasty, some cheesy and malty notes; taste is the same with some bread crusty and slight salty notes; ok one, but for sure not among the bast beers of the brewery...actually, a bit disappointing...

500mL bottle, pours a hazy dark amber with a medium beige head. Aroma has moderate smokiness, toasted bready malt, and a hint of dry caramel. Flavour has intensely dry smoke, light peated character, ashiness, and bready malt. Super dry, drier than the regular Marzen or Helles, with intense dry ashy smokiness. Excellent.

0,5l bottle at home . Brown color, small white head. smells spices, sausage, earthy, tobacco. Very nice smell. Medium body, soft carbonation. tastes leathery, peppery, smoked, probably, gselchtes, smoked meats. finishes lightly dry with notes of smoked and smoked meats. Rather smoked, not sweet like the usual Märzen, good I prefer my smoked beers a bit more on the sweet side though.

Sampled from the tap at Churchkey. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has a sweet smoke with a bit of wood and biscuit supporting. Flavor is much lighter with smooth smoke, sweet grains and a good amount of biscuit.
From bottle at Remko's Bierproefavond november 2025. Didn't take notes, just enjoyed the beers and good company. What I do remember: Malty, nice amount of smoke, quite a lot of taste for a low alcohol beer.

From Heinrich 3000, thanks Alex for this bottle, sharing this original helles, on the train, from Stuttgart, back to Zürich. A nice experience, subtle note of smocked malt, grainy, malty, little touch of bacon and beech, good with a Bavarian cheeee, 01.03.23

Aus der Flasche (bbe 31.01.2026) im 2025-09 getrunken. Dieses hellbraune Ale zeigt gleich seine typischen Aromen von geräucherten Schinken und Getreide. Ein leichte Karamellsüsse wird jedoch doch von dem rauchigen Charakter fast komplett erschlagen. Nein, ich bleibe dabei das ich bei Rauch im Bier meine Probleme habe. Daher schnell in der Ausguss und was Schöneres ins Glas.
