Greif-R
A lightly smoked lager that the brewery sells as a hint of smoke, tapped from May into early summer and reviving a style the house had last brewed in the 1930s. It pours unfiltered golden with a creamy white head. The nose shows gentle malt, cereal and faint smoke; on the palate a balanced, grainy malt base carries only a light smoky touch, with hops underneath drying a clean, semi-dry finish. A gentle entry into Bamberg smoked beer.
