Bottle. Copper color with tan head. Aroma is smoked ham, herbal hops, malt sweetness. Taste is more smoked ham, again malt sweetness. Medium carbonation. Goes down way too fast. Greatly balanced Smoked! Tap at the brewery. Goes more into a smoked fish character, very dry, mineralic finish. Also very drinkable.

(bottle) Clear, light-amber colour with a medium-sized and slightly tanned foamy head. Slightly bready and moderately smoky malty aroma with notes of caramel and ham. Moderately bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a modest, almost crisp carbonation. Dry malt character with hints of caramel and distinctive notes of smoked malt, ham, backed by herbal spicy hops; dry, moderately hop bitter and delicately salty finish with herbal spice and a lasting but also rounded smoke-malty tail. More-ish Smoked in the Franconian way. 07.VII.16

Schönes dunkles Gold im Glas, feine Perligkeit. In der Nase crispy malzig, brotig. Im Trunk kernig, leicht alkoholisch, bitter. Dann bricht das Malz durch, hintenweg nochmal bitter. Gutes Märzen. Vielleicht einen Tick zu alkoholisch.
