hopIQ found 10 beers with the same full-bodied and honey character as 1162 Rauchfestbier. A pale festival beer with a touch of smoke, first brewed in 2012 for the 850th anniversary of Merkendorf, which explains the number in its name. It appears each year from Ash Wednesday, golden yellow, at about 13.6 °P. Soft, honeyed pale malt and fresh bread form the base, with a light wisp of wood smoke and a faintly spicy hop note on top. The body is full, and the smoky note stays in the background through the finish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
