Beer: Sein d`esprit
Brewer: Microbrasserie Broadway
Wheat beer, smoked, 5% (Rauchweizen)
Bought it because I remember trying a smoked beer many moons ago, Cheval Blanc, and I liked it quite a bit.
This is an opaque, peachy yellow beer. Nice creamy looking white foam too.
Oooooh smells like smoke. Like clothes the day after you spent the night in the campfire smoke. This smells so nostalgic to me hahaha!
Super refreshing when you first take a sip, and the smokey flavour creeps in after a couple of seconds.Slight bitterness follows that through, but is then chased off by a surprising yet gentle sweetness.
The label mentions banana and cloves aroma, with notes of vanilla. I can`t really pin point these flavours but I can say that it turns into a magical dance of omg I need more. The aftertaste retains no bitterness for me, I fucking love this. New favourite beer! YEAH!
If you like smokey beers but eventually get saturated by how strong the taste comes across, this is a great alternative.
