This historical Polish beer was brewed using oak smoked wheat, which lends a smokey sweetness.

Had on tap at the Lowell location, not sure where it was brewed.
It was delivered to the table a grey tinted straw color with a minimal head.
The taste had a brief taste of smoked something and then it was gone. The rest of the beer was refreshing (it was very hot today!) and the flavor was almost a metallic Pilsner type thing. Truly curious.
The feel is light and crisp, perfect for slamming if one desired to.
OA, I may or may not try it again, just to see if I was “off” or something.

Pours a gold color with a minimal head that disappears quickly. No discernable aroma. Taste is sweet and slightly smokey with a smooth enjoyable finish.
