Bottle from Beers of the World in Henrietta. Pours a clear deep gold with a head of tight white bubbles. Aroma is slightly smokey and also sweet. The flavors reveal more of the smoke, but only enough to make this sweet lager interesting. Not spectacular, but a lighter offering from a brewery that makes a lot of impressive beers.

Dec 16, 2009 This here is Schlenkerla’s try at a "normal" beer, and they have succeeded magnificently...very smooth lager with a nice sweetness at the end, goes down very easily.

Dec 5, 2009 This lager, reminiscent of a rauchbier, is absolutely fantastic. Enjoyed on tap at the Map Room in Chicago after I’ve had one more other high powered ales than I should have, this was the perfect beer for the time. Very subtle hint of smokiness, very drinkable, also very enjoyable and savory. I can drink this stuff all day.

Nov 25, 2009 Bottle. Poured pale yellow with thick white head. Aroma of malt and smoke. Rather smoky flavour, much more that I expected from a lightly smoked helles. Malt balanced the smoke. Lekker hop finish.

Nov 24, 2009 I really liked this one. Sweet, and smoke, without being overwhelming. About the same smoke as the Alaska Smoked Porter.

Nov 17, 2009 Golden yellow with a loose white foam, thick sheets of lacing. Grainy huskyness typical of a helles mixes with a mild ashy smoke aroma. Taste is grassy, herbal, grainy, tannic, then a light wash of burnt wood, campfire ash, smoke.

Nov 14, 2009 On tap at Wildeman. Golden body with tall head. Looks like a pils until you take in the hammy nose. Taste of smoke, and ham. Watery. Also nice malt flavours. Enjoyable.
