Surprised by the quality of this Ale. Tough to find, but, worth the search.

From the 12 oz bottle in a snifter. This nice little brew from Smokehouse Brewing
pours a cloudy rusty amber color with a very nice head of white dissipating foam that
subsides toa thick ring, thick layer, and features some VERY nice lacing. Nose of sweet wheat
and honey malts, subtle cream, and light grain notes with a touch of citrus fruits. Flavors
exceed the nose with mandarin oranges and honey malts touched by sweet wheat and
a touch of pineapple with zesty hop notes on the rear. Nice mouth feel, very carbonated
and effervescent with a medium mouth feel and a sweet soft finish,

Overall it is a unique brew, but could use a touch less yeast to calm the mouth feel a touch.
Glad to have tried this one and LOVED the restaurant.

Cheers

No date on the bottle. DFH Tulip.

A: pours a slightly hazy copper with 1 finger off-white head. Moderate visible carbonation. Excellent lacing and retention of a pretty thick cap with islands of bubbles. Lots of sediment at the bottom of the bottle; second pour was very hazy.

S: straight out of the refrigerator this had an inviting, sweet smell, with obvious wheat malt; hints of tart citrus, navel oranges and lemon peel, but the overall sensation is one of grain and lightly toasted bread. As it warms of becomes vinous and grapey, phenolics come outa d dominate an overall sweet, toasty, and clean grainy aroma.

T: now that I know this is a wheat beer, it seems obvious. Almost like a dunkelweizen; dark toasty malt and wheat play nicely together with a little grape-like phenolic character in the background. Sweet grapey arrival with a malty and phenolic middle; very little bitterness at the end, with a lingering grape/bubble gum.

M: lighter side of mid weight, slick and well-carbonated, this really fills the mouth up. Not a terribly clean finish, but typical for a dunkelweizen or weizenbock.

O: I should preface this by saying I really like Smokehouse brewing. I've had this a couple of times now, and I still don't know what to make of it. I love that a part of the proceeds go to charity and that the brewpub is nearby. It is good, and bold, but I think you have to be in the mood for a dunkelweizen to enjoy this. Malty, smooth, and phenolic. I might buy again if the mood strikes.
