May 7, 2009 Tan color, just a ring of head. Pleasant smokiness, not overdone, dominates the nose atop a background of wheat and grain. Easy smoky body, no off-flavors, good, moderate backbone to support, though not upstage the smokiness. Excellent grill-out beer. Appealingly nuanced smokiness. Probably deserves a higher rating as I already look forward to my next encounter with this one.

Apr 16, 2009 Growler. Copper amber, small white head, low retention. Nose is liquid smoke with a hint of sweet malt. Tastes mild at first, with a hit of hoppiness on the back and a smoky finish. One of the more interesting and palatable rauch biers I’ve had.

Mar 5, 2009 Updated: Nov 9, 2009In my initial rating of this lager, tasted fresh on site, I found it to be too forward with the smokiness, masking the subtlety of the fine lagers that Will Kemper and brewer Josh Kveim have been producing since arriving in town. However, it seems they’ve dialed the smokiness down a notch, and my last tasting was delightful, with a wonderful balance of light smoke with fine malt aroma, flavor, and aftertaste

Feb 17, 2009 Draft@ Brouwers Cafe. Clear amber with a white head. Spicy, yeasty lager aroma with light smoke. Smooth medium body. Flavors mirror the aroma with spicy yeasts and bready pale malts with some smoke in the background. Not too bad.

Jan 24, 2009 Tap at Naked City. Golden amber pour, no head really. The aroma is of light smokey campfire and some bready sweetness. Aroma is pretty light really. The flavor is an initial medium smokiness followed by sweet bready malts, crisp hops, and then more smoked malt which lingers for a minute, but still finishes rather clean like a marzen usually does.

Jan 21, 2009 Taster – Chuckanut Brewery & Kitchen - Bellingham, WA
Slight smoked malt this beer was fresh and tasty. The aroma was light the malts where rich and the beers was very flavorful. This was decent but I was hoping for more smoked flavor. Nothing too much just a good amount more.
