Treen’s Smoulder is an evocative Rauchbier that captures the essence of a traditional beechwood-fired kiln. This amber-hued lager opens with a profound, aromatic woodsmoke that dominates the nose, reminiscent of a crackling hearth or savory campfire notes. Beneath the smoke lies a sturdy foundation of toasty, bready malt richness typical of a classic Märzen base. The palate mirrors the aroma, delivering a seamless integration of smoky depth and malty sweetness that finishes remarkably clean and dry. At a sessionable 4.8% ABV, the balance remains focused on drinkability, offering a smooth, campfire-side experience without overwhelming the palate.
Appearance.Deep copper to mahogany brown with brilliant clarity. It pours with a dense, creamy, tan-colored head that exhibits excellent retention and fine lacing.
Aroma.High intensity of clean beechwood smoke, leaning toward woody and savory bacon-like notes. A moderate toasty malt sweetness supports the smoke, alongside a clean lager fermentation profile and virtually no hop aroma.
Taste.Initial malt richness transitions into a dominant, savory smoke flavor that is cleanly integrated. Flavors of toasted bread and mild caramel provide a supportive backbone. Hop bitterness is moderate and balanced, leading to a medium-dry finish where the smoke lingers pleasantly without becoming acrid or harsh.
Mouthfeel.Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate to medium-high, providing a crispness that cleanses the palate. No alcohol warmth or phenolic astringency is present.
