Single 16oz can from sulldaddy
Clear pale golden color with a thick fluffy head, great retention.
Aroma has faint notes of bready malts and floral hops, smoke is almost not noticeable.
Taste is nicely balanced with the hops shining through. I get just a tiny hint of smoke.
Light body with good carbonation.
I would love to have this with a bit more smoke flavor. I bet it would be outstanding!

Sampling a cellar temp 16 oz can poured into my .5L dimple mug. Picked up a 4 pack a couple weeks ago at my local beer shop.
The beer pours a bright clear golden color with a soft fluffy eggshell white head of 2.5 cm. this foam fades slowly to a sturdy surface layer that lingers throughout the sampling. Leaves some scattered lacing on each sip from the mug.
the aroma is more mild than I anticipated with some bread crust and grainy malt notes mixing with some herbal tea hops and only faint whiffs of smoked notes. Its definitely not a punch of smoke on the aroma. Which is kinda nice.
First sip reveals a light crisp body with smooth texture and very fine tingly carbonation. Beer drinks very easy and slides down my gullet with no effort.
Flavor is where I get more smoke, but it is still not overbearing or even completely dominant on the profile.
Some light cereal grain notes a bit of bready malt and slight sweetness up front but then this moves to the smoked meat notes. The lingering finish is some mild smoke but this also yields to some herbal hops. Finish does dry out a bit encouraging me to take another sip.
A nice intro to smoke without being punched in the face by it. I enjoy this beer and would drink it again and would recommend to someone who likes smoked beers, or someone who similar wants to try one. Well done.

Canned on 3/23/20; best before 9/23/20
Pours a clear light golden copper body topped with two fingers of tight, soapy, off-white foam; good head retention yields a half-finger of fluffy cap, an expansive collar trickling up the glass, and a ringed layering of dense, webby lacing around the walls.
Aroma brings a soft smoke upfront with touches of white bread dough beneath; a stiff affront of herbal hops proceeds through the middle, while light caramel, bread crust, and a hint of medicine cabinet combine for a light 'snap' at the back end of the bouquet.
Taste of black bread crusts open into a malty roast and defined further across a mid-palate suggesting well-done barbecue; a light, semi-sweet, yeasty touch of bread dough before a hoppy char on the finish.
Mouthfeel shows a medium-light body with a rounded, fluffy moderate-high carbonation; a slight oily texture guides it across the mid-palate as a soft grit builds and spreads into a drying, crisp finish.
Without much assertiveness, this one manages a steady level of detail and consistency throughout the profile, and leaves a lager, somewhat mild for the style, fairly interesting; a soft, easy, very non-confrontational smoke beer.
