If BA had a category for this it would be Grodziskie (Polish Smoked Wheat Beer), a low-alcohol and highly carbonated brew. This one was on tap at Ballast Point in LIttle Italy.

My first thought is "kielbasa." It's such a sausage taste, the identical kind of smoke, that I'm wondering if they tossed some garlic in the kettle. Remarkably svelte and subtle, but distinctly meaty with that smoky aromatic. Just a little sharp, but there's a mellow malt finish.

I'm all for another really low ABV brew with such interesting flavor. Totally glpable and refreshingly tangy. Let's see this in Champagne bottles! With a screw cap, or course.
