Quite a tasty and satisfying smoke, with the medium lager mouthfeel backdropping the right amount of smoked malt flavour. Sweetish but not too sweet. Drinkable this one.

Aug 28, 2008 Amber pour with a thin white head. Smokey malt nose. Flavor is lightly smoked caramel with a light hop finish. Not overpowering, subtle. I liked it.

Aug 21, 2008 Orange-amber in colour with a thin off-white coloured head, light lacing. The aroma is only lightly smoked, sweet with some fruits. The flavour is of sweet smoke, caramel and grains. Sweet mouthfeel, medium body, medium/light carbonation. Finishes with some light smoke and a lingering sweetness.
The smokes starts off light in this but seems to pick up a bit near the end. Its okay but a little sweet for my smoke beer tastes.
355ml bottle from the Premier Gourmet in Buffalo, New York.
Opened on March 15, 2008.
Batch 6.

Aug 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours a hazy dark copper. The aroma is modestly smoky with slight hints at meat, campfire, and tobacco. Defumada is a semi-sweet, humbly smoky beer. I find notes of burning leaves and a sweetness almost akin to sarsaparilla. Thankfully, none of the corny, generic lager tones I find in the weaker smoked lagers are here. So, in my opinion, this needs much, much more smoke. But it’s alright.

Aug 9, 2008 Bottle. Pours red amber with a fizzy off white head. Aroma is lightly smoked and a bit sweet. Flavor has smoke, peat, burnt wood and earth. Very nice.

Aug 6, 2008 This is indeed an immensely satisfying lager, though the smoked malt is understated. Pours a perfect amber pint with a suitable top. Pleasant amber malt aroma with hint of honey malt and some grain. Wonder malt flavor, akin to a good amber ale. Superbly crafted with a hint of smoke adding a complementary complexity.
