"S5L2F2T4O7 Had the pleasure of sampling this at the 1/27/2008 Pittsburgh ratebeer.com gathering and festival upstairs, Sharp Edge Creekhouse. It will be a long time, if ever I am invited again and I see a spread of bottles like I did there - ever again. I am not good enough for the beers that were that we sampled! For example, how about this beer, the prime example of smoke from yinzer! Aroma of fine honey glazed ham or sweet pie! Almost sickening in olfactory sweetness. Attractive like it must be for a bee to a beautiful flower! Look is very clear pale yellow. Barely any carbonation. taste is more woody than smoky. Vanilla at times. Very very unique, difficult and meaty! Thanks Mark, glad to have had the "

[2] Review by staleyiv from Newnan, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/24/2008 9:50:33 PM)
"(Green's Trip: 08') I have had almost all of the Aecht brews and the lagerbier seems very appetizing so I picked a bottle up to try. Aroma on this is grainy as well as full of malty sweetness with some whisps of smokiness coming through as well as some cardboard. Appearance is a golden yellow in color with a medium-sized head on top that is fuzzy and a bleach-white in color and only diminishes slightly. Mouthfeel is light-bodied with some grainy complexity as well as malty balance with a palate that is a bit thin. Flavor is of faint smokiness with the usual lager characteristics with an aftertaste that is clean and crisp and a finish that is refreshing. Overall, the least smokey of all the Aecht line-up but good for sessionability for sure. "

[3] Review by YumBeer from Edgewater, NJ, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/20/2008 9:16:28 PM)
"A very intriguing beer because there is no Helles beer that has a hint of smoke and honey on the palate and a low hop profile. I smelled hints of smoke which was really neat because no Helles has that characteristic. Amazing that the smoke characteristics did not over power the flavor characteristics. A nice, refreshing beer to drink."

[4] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (1/2/2008 11:28:21 AM)
"Bottle: Poured clear golden yellow color lager with a medium white foamy head with average retention and limited lacing. Aroma of floral malt with some sweetness also noticeable. Taste is a mix between some floral malt with some sweet notes but I could not distinguish any some at all. Body is quite full and slightly oily with some medium carbonation. Interesting but not really smokey."
