hopIQ found 10 beers with the same smoky and toasty character as Smoke on the Water. The autumn entry in the Skeena seasonal series, an amber ale brewed with grain smoked over Kispiox cottonwood. Toffee and toasted bread come from the malt, and the smoke sits behind them as a thin, dry woodiness rather than anything campfire-like. The body is medium and malt-led, the hops present only as balance, and the smoke is what lingers longest in the finish. Label art by Roy Henry Vickers. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
