From Chuckanut:
Summer is just around the corner and BBQ’s are on the way. Now’s the perfect time to enjoy the classical German style smoke beers (Rauch Lagers). Chuckanut is tapping their award-winning (4 Gold WABA medals) Rauch Helles Lager with its delicate use of smoked German malts and balanced hop flavors all over the Northwest and it will be out in cans for the first time too. This is a super drinkable Rauch beer that captures the smoky flavors of a Rauch Lager with the gentle easy-going nature of a Helles Lager. It’s an interesting beer that has a malty, crackery, toasted flavor spiked with smoky overtones due to the use of beechwood smoked malted barley. Years ago all beers were slightly smoky due to the nature of kilning the malted barley. Chuckanut’s Rauch Helles is an updated version of a classic with just enough German noble hops to balance the sweetness of the beechwood smoked malt creating a nice, dry finish typical of a lager beer.
Rauch Helles has a light color and soft flavors that make a great match to any bbq or smoked seafood. Boasting its unique flavor profile and gentle sparkling mouthfeel you’ll want to try this unusual, uncommon lager if you see it in cans or on draft around Puget Sound and Portland, OR areas. Prost!
