Y’all know we can’t resist smokin’ out the brewhouse! Sweet Hell is our new Smoked Helles Lager is brewed with 100% Beechwood Smoked Malt, 100% Tettnanger hops, and 100% hellfire. There’s a treacherous wood smoke aroma and flavor fanning the flames of damnation with a bready malt character and whisper of noble hops. Sweet Hell’s saving grace is a light body and crisp finish that’ll pick you up when you’re down…way down.

12oz can purchased from the fridge as part of a mix-a-six pack for $11.99. No canned-on date, but I think that this is a new release.
Look: The beer has a light to medium gold color with a creamy whitish head. The head was initially very impressive being two fingers tall and very creamy and frothy. Slow but steady carbonation rises up the glass.
Smell: It has a nice smoke aroma on the nose, reminds me of a mix of campfire and peat. It smells a bit spicy/peppery and there's also some grassy hop notes. There's a bit of malty sweetness underneath the smoke, but it's hard to make it out. I feel like there's a very subtle fruity sweetness too, kind of reminds me a bit of hard apple cider.
Taste: It's very tasty. As this beer uses 100% beechwood smoked malt, the smokiness is not subtle. Nevertheless, the beer has a nicely balanced flavor profile between smoke, malt, and hops. Up front, it has a nice rich malty flavor. Then the smokiness comes through, and when the smokiness eventually fades from the palate, i get a crisp, grassy, slightly spicy finish. I really like the use of Tettnanger hops here.
Feel: It's nicely carbonated. The beer has a spritzy yet soft carbonation. It's on the lighter side of medium in terms of body.
Overall: It's a tasty beer and it is very easy to drink. It's smoky, yet not overpowering and it enhances the flavor of the beer in my opinion. Very nice and different. This reminds me of 2SP's Pale Smoke.
