You Want This Smoke

◎ Appearance

Pale golden yellow with excellent clarity and fine, persistent carbonation. A stable white head forms with good retention and leaves distinct lacing down the glass as it settles. The beer presents a bright, inviting appearance typical of a well-executed Helles base.

◌ Aroma

Beech smoke rises prominently on the nose, carrying notes of campfire and smoldering wood without harshness. Beneath the smoke, crisp Pilsner malt contributes subtle cereal and grain notes, while restrained Warrior hop character adds gentle herbal undertones. The smoke remains the dominant focal point throughout.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with clean, refreshing malt-forward entry, where the smoke weaves through a light, dry body with pleasant mineral acidity. Mid-palate delivers balanced smoke and grain without heaviness, while low bitterness (22 IBU) remains well-integrated and never aggressive. The finish drives toward crisp, dry minerality with lingering smoke notes.

◑ Finish

Medium-short finish with smoke character persisting gently into the aftertaste. The beer dries cleanly without astringency, leaving a whisper of beech and a refreshing, clean palate.
