Miss Grätzer is a vibrant and refreshing interpretation of the historic Grodziskie style, showcasing a delicate balance between traditional smoke and modern hop character. The profile is defined by a clean, elegant oak-smoked wheat malt base that evokes notes of campfire and cracker. This is elevated by a prominent hop presence, unusual for the style, which introduces crisp herbal and floral aromatics. At a sessionable 3.4% ABV, it delivers a high-impact sensory experience with an exceptionally dry finish. The intense carbonation provides a prickly, champagne-like effervescence that cleanses the palate, making it an incredibly drinkable example of a Classic Style Smoked Beer.
Appearance.Pale straw to light gold (SRM 2-3). Crystal clear to slightly hazy with a voluminous, snow-white, frothy head that displays excellent retention and leaves intricate lacing.
Aroma.Moderate intensity with a primary character of clean oak smoke. Supportive notes of grainy wheat and cracker-like malt are present. The hop aroma is higher than traditional examples, offering distinct floral and herbal notes with a hint of citrus. Clean fermentation profile without significant esters.
Taste.The palate opens with light-bodied wheat malt and a refined, non-phenolic oak smoke flavor. Hop bitterness is moderate and crisp, balancing the slight malt sweetness. Hop flavors are prominent, leaning toward grassy and herbal. The finish is bone-dry and very clean, with a short, smoky, and slightly bitter aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Light body with a very high, prickly carbonation that provides a sharp but refreshing bite. No alcohol warmth is perceived. Crisp and effervescent without any smoky astringency or harshness.
