An orange beer with a small disappearing white head. The aroma is weak, with hints of honey, malt, and hops. The flavor is extremely fresh: hoppy, dry, and slightly bitter. Thanks to Jez (Rauchbier) for this one.

Bottled. Pale brownish amber. Heavily beechwood smokey nose. medum bodied and well rounded, tarry and extremely smokey. Salty, whiskey-like finish. Miles better than the other beers I've sampled from this brewry, maybe the heavy smokeyness covers the flaws, but regardless I love this beer!
