smoky mandarina

Smoked beer owes its wonderful flavor to the use of smoked malt. This grain, kilned over smoke, conjures a powerful aroma of campfire, smoked ham, and wood into the beer, depending on the type of wood used. Usually, the malt is clearly in the foreground and impressively dominates the flavor. Not so with BrewDog's latest creation: Smoky Mandarina presents us with an alluring smoky note, but it also has another dimension. The brewery skillfully pairs the smoky flavor with a juicy mandarin note, for which the Mandarina Bavaria hop variety is responsible.

Smoky Mandarina is a smoke-infused lager that pours into the glass with a delicate, hazy, old-gold hue, topped with a head of airy, white, and fleeting foam. A beautiful smoky note unfolds on the nose, creating an exciting first impression along with a hint of mandarin orange. This impression continues on the palate: elegant smoke meets sun-ripened mandarin. The lager is crisp and refreshing, boasting a feather-light body and a refined balance.

BrewDogs Smoky Mandarina is a delicious beer that gives the classic lager a whole new twist. Smoky, citrusy, and crisp!
