New Albanian Happy Helmut

Aroma of smoky orange. Flavor is orangey citrus hops. This is a classic if you’re really in the mood for that citrus hops flavor. Really, really nice stuff.

On tap at Rich O’s. clear orange with a small white head that disappears into a thin film and leaves good lacing. aroma orange caramel and a hint of smoke. bittersweet spicy orange caramel flavor with underlying smoke. bittersweet spicy orange finish with light smoke and pine. good balance. nice very interesting hoppy smoked beer.....could use a bit more smoke but very nice.

Pours burnished golden with a fully receding white head. Aroma of fresh hops, lite smoke, and light graininess. Taste is fresh hops, light spiciness from the rye, and only a hint of smoke. Mouthfeel is medium bodied and lightly resinous. I think they were worried too much rauch would scare the Hoosiers, so they made the beer hoppy instead.
