This specially unfiltered edition however retains the natural haziness and the yeast with its fresh and smoky character. A rare and special treat, not only for smokebeer lovers.

Bottle. Slight hazy pale golden with fluffy white head. Grassy, crisp malts, subtle smoke, earthy, dough, a touch of cream, bitter weedy hops. Just medium sweet, more bitter. Medium bodied. Not bad!

Tap at Little Devil. Pale blond, clear, stable head. Just a delicate smokiness backing up a solid lager. It makes a big difference. If only more lagers were like this.

Towering, fine pale yellowish head, lacey, over clear old-golden beer. Smoke, Rauchmalz, but way less than the Märzen; cured ham, pinch of acidity suggested - difficult to interprete. Short smoked flavour upon mild-sweet malts, very present. Bit as special treated cornflakes. Light flavour, gristslickness, fluffy feel from the head, soft carbonation. Decent, tasty, but no such bomb as the "real" smoked Schlenkerla's. Txs to Joren for bringing!
