Smoky Mandarina combineert verse beukenhoutrook met een vleugje mandarijn. Deze rokerige lager, met zijn lichte, frisse basis en delicate balans, roept het gevoel op van een Frankische kerstmarkt. Gebrouwen met Pilsner-, Münchener- en Melanoidinmouten, geeft de combinatie met Triumph- en Mandarina Bavaria-hop een frisse citrusnoot.
The smoke hits first but fades fast, leaving that mandarin citrus to brighten the finish—it’s a genuinely clever pairing. Poured it for my dad who hates fruity beers and even he went back for a second glass. Light enough for a warm evening but festive enough that I’m stocking up for December.
That mandarin note really comes through on the finish, and it plays off the smoke so well it's like a campfire with a citrus twist. Poured it for a friend who normally sticks to IPAs and even he was impressed. Crisp enough to have a second one without feeling heavy.
The beechwood smoke is the star here, but that mandarin hint keeps it light and makes it dangerously easy to sip through a whole evening. Poured it with dinner and it nailed that crisp, cozy Christmas market vibe without being heavy.
