Rauchbier
Had on-tap at Capone's in Norristown, PA. I had been feeling like a rauchbier for awhile, so I had to grab this one while I could. Poured a clear orange-yellow color with pretty much no head to speak of. No lacing. Had an aroma of smoke and sweet malts. Very underwhelming nose. Tasted of caramel and sweet malts with smoke throughout. Not very complex and actually just generally weirdly balanced. It was almost like the rauchbier characteristics were an afterthought and this one was really intended to be a pale ale. Light-bodied with good carbonation. This one was a miss for me...a good attempt but not well executed.
