Z Lager
Appearance - has a peachy amber color, maybe even a tint of cherry. Not much of a cap, just a few pockets of bubbles. Some random streaks of lace make their way onto the edges. Aroma - basic graininess with a light side of smoke, like campfire smoke. Hints of vanilla as it warms. Taste - a low-key grain presence; the smoke, though not harsh or over-the-top, takes over pretty quickly. A very nice level that can be appreciated by itself or with some grilled/smoked meat. Steady from the tip of the tongue to the finish. Mouthfeel - average body, pretty crisp. Drinkability - rauchbier is a specialty beer for me, I can't drink them often or many at a time. I would like to have this around, though, for weekend cookouts and such.
