(bottle) Clear and pale golden colour with a small foamy white head. Only a hint of smoke in the aroma but a nice malty nose with strong citric elements. Slight taste of smoked bacon with malts and a dry well rounded smooth dry slightly bitter finish. I wish this one could be my everyday beer for the summer of 2005 !

Sep 25, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear gold with a white head. The aroma has grain, hemp/rope/burlap, and a hint of hops. The flavor is much more smoky than the aroma with hay, straw, and burap. Not nearly as good as their others.
TURDFERGUSON (1153), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA
Sep 24, 2008 Bottle from Carrboro Beverage Co. Pours golden with a thin whit head into my Spezial Brau Rauchbier mug. Nose is grass, herbs, smoke, a bit of sweetness. Flavor is similar to a golden/blonde ale with a bit of smokiness. Notes of lemon, hay, grass and leather amidst a subtle smokiness. Pretty good, but I like the marzen much better.
