This is a traditional German Rauchbier, which uses 60% of the malt as beechwood-smoked barley and noble German hops. Light to medium body, fairly low hoppiness, and a great smoked aroma pair perfectly with meats.

Pours a clear, red color. 1/2 inch head of a white color. Great retention and great lacing. Smells of strong smoke, sweet malt, alcohol, and a hint of roasted malt. Fits the style of a Smoked Beer. Mouth feel is smooth and clean, with a low carbonation level. Tastes of strong smoke, hint of hop, hint of roasted malt, sweet malt, alcohol, and yeast. Overall, not quite an Aecht, but very close.

Appearance: Lovingly dispensed a lightly hazed, medium copper-hued body with a slim, ivory head. Meager lacing on the descent.

Smell: Bready malts in the nose, though they're light, with some vague, underlying sweetish accents. Very faint fig. The smoked malt quality is notable but ingratiating.

Taste: Bready, lightly mealy malts with a faint, sweetish hint of light brown sugar. Moderate smoked beechwood character. Flash of fruitiness trapped amidst the smoke. Low bitterness, hop character. Smoky, faintly fruity finish.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.

Overall: A pleasant, smoked lager.
