a) Bamberg-Style Rauchbier
Rauchbier should have smoky characters prevalent in the aroma and flavor.
The beer is generally toasted malty sweet and full bodied with low to medium hop bitterness.
"Noble-type" hop flavor is low, but perceptible.
Low "Noble-type" hop aroma is optional.
The aroma should strike a balance between malt, hop
and smoke.
Fruity esters, diacetyl and chill haze should not be perceived.

b) Classic-Style Smoked Beer
Any classic style of beer can be smoked.
The goal is to reach a balance between the style's character and the
smoky properties.
|
c) Other Smoked Beer
Any beer to which smoke flavors have been added.
