Aecht Schlenkerla Kräusen
Als „Kräusen“ beschreibt der Bierbrauer die vielen Schaumblasen, die sich während der Gärung des Jungbieres bilden. Die Zugabe von einer kleinen Menge solchen Jungbieres zu einem bereits ausgereiften Bier wird als „Aufkräusen“ bezeichnet. Durch das Aufkräusen wird die volle Geschmacksreife des gelagerten Bieres um die Spritzigkeit des Jungbieres ergänzt.
Aecht Schlenkerla Kräusen ist ein bernsteinfarbenes, unfiltriertes Lagerbier mit leichtem Rauchgeschmack. Es reift in den tiefen Stollen unter dem Bamberger Stephansberg und wird kurz vor dem Ausschank mit klassischem Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier aufgekräust. Süffig und mit nicht zu viel Alkohol ist es die ideale Erfrischung für die warme Jahreszeit.

English Translation:
"Kräusen" describes the bubbles that form during the fermentation of green (young) beer. The addition of a small amount of such green beer to an already mature beer is called "Kräusening". Kräusening adds the full flavor maturity of the stored beer to the liveliness of the green beer that is added.
Schlenkerla Kräusen is an amber, unfiltered lager with a slight smoky taste. It ripens in the deep tunnels under Bamberg until just before adding the classic Schlenkerla smoked beer. Tasty and not too much alcohol, it is the perfect refreshment for a warm season.

If you want a smoked beer, Aecht is the reference, even with this light and young version, the smoked bacon taste is there, amazing!
Crisp barley and lots of smoke. Golden pour with good head. Crisp kind of barrel type feel. Light bitter finish. Tap at Churchkey
PINT tasting. Pours somewhat hazy amber, nice big white foam head. Aroma is smokey, taste is smokey. OK beer. (Arnhem 2203)
Smoked meat, creamy barley malt, and hay aroma. Slightly hazy golden yellow with large white head. Moderately sweet citrus, ham, barley malt, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Nice body and balance. Very nice.
samen met mijn schoonvader willy bij hem thuis een goud blond kleurig lichaam met een witte kop en met een gerookte mout hop aroma een kruidig graan gist gerookte mout zoet hop droge bitter smaak met een bitter einde
Dark blond colour with lasting lacy head. Starts out with smoky bacon notes. Nice malt body. A little bitterness in the aftertaste.
Bottle at home 27th December 2021. Pours a clear chestnut brown, with a massive annoying and growing head, I had to shot gun a load of foam to start it off. Aroma is light smoke and meat. Taste is caramel and light smoke, yeast and malts, east drinking, some meat, roasted notes and bacon, pretty good, but not as luxurious and intense as some of this brewers offerings
500ml bottle brewed in Germany at 4.5%. Lightly unclear deep gold with a generous, good-duration head. Grassy, slightly zesty-fruity and spicy, almost heathery German lager aroma with a small side helping of meaty smoke, somewhat sulphurous. Moderate carbonation and texture, refreshing in the finish. Nice grassy lager tones, a hint of heather honey, but more than merely featuring a modest meaty smoke developing, the lager benefits from the darker malts in the finish, similar to a Marzen. Of course, Schlenkerla do a Marzen, as well as a Helles - so how much is this hybrid worth tracking down? Well, there's the bonus fruity points from being unfiltered to consider, and it's a nice refreshing yet flavoursome brew when all's said and done. Have it alongside their Helles and Marzen and take notes for some fun.
Color naranja oscuro, levemente turbia, traslucida. Espuma blanca de más de dos dedos de espesor y buena retención. Aroma medio intenso, cereal, bacon, ceniza y humo, pan y notas de miel. Sabor intenso, bacon, brasas, carbón, humo y cenizas, cereal y pan tostado, final medio de dulzor maltoso y posgusto ahumado aunque "fresco", alcohol bien integrado. Textura semisedosa. Carbonatación baja.
Todos los tonos ahumados imaginables característicos de la casa, esta vez con un acompañamiento fresco muy agradable.
Hazy amber. Aroma is very smokey, almost like bacon with malts accompanying it. Flavour is smokey with malts and slight fruity hints.
Bottle. Smokey, light ham on nose, still sort of pale lagery. Med light, quite easy drink, a little bitter grassy smokey finish. Quite ok, well carbonated, pretty dry and thin
Botella 500ml de Labirratorium. Color ambar, ligeramente opaca, espuma blanca, mediana, retencion media, burbujas de diferentes tamaños. Aroma malta, madera, beicon ahumado. Sabor beicon ahumado dominante, malta, ligero amargor que se queda prolongado en postgusto. Clásica
Barwa ciemnobursztynowa, piana dziurawa, dość brzydka. W aromacie lager+wędzonka. Całkiem nieźle suszonymi owocami pachnie, do tego trochę kiełbasy. W smaku znacznie lepiej, ten lager ucieka. Jest fajna wędzoność. Przyjemne.
Barwa bursztynowa, klarowne, piana obfita, gęsta, trwała.
W aromacie karmel, słód, wędzonka, ale niezbyt intensywna.
W smaku wędzonka, ziemia, melanoidyny, słód, lekka mineralność.
Wytrawne, ciało niskie, goryczka nie za wysoka, ale wyczuwalna.
Dobre, choć jedno ze słabszych w całej rodzinie.
Nalewa się głeboko-złote, lekko zmętnione, ładna, bardzo obfita piana.
W zapachu mocno wędzonka, taka a'la wędzony boczek, troche karmelu, ziołowe
W smaku dosyć wodniste, wędzone, wyraźnie ziołowe, są też takie ziemiste, surowe nuty.
Goryczka ziołowa, wyraźna, przyjemna.
Ogólnie, słodkie, słodowe, fajna goryczka, ale całościowo smacznie ale mi trochę nie gra, taki session marzen z wyraźną gorczyką z tego wychodzi.
Bottle. Golden, hazy, large/huge and mostly - fully lasting head. Moderate, malty and lightly sweetish aroma, faint caramel and light smokiness.. Body is medium malty and dryish - lightly sweetish flavor, faint caramel, light smokiness, light metal. Finish is short to average, malty and dryish, light smokiness, light - some metal. In the finish sharp metal dominates over smokiness. I do not get the idea of mixing lager and märzen. Stick to the Schlenkerla Märzen instead. Really nice/huge head though.
Amber color with huge white head. Aroma: smoke, bacon, caramel, honey notes, pale malt and noble hops. Taste: smoke, bacon, malt, noble hops. Medium body, moderate carbonation, moderate bitterness. Really tasty and unorthodox lager.
Bottle. Pours golden with high white head. Aroma is smoky, beckon, peat, grass, some grain, autumn leaves. Taste is malts, dry, dust, peat, some smoked meat, tobacco, light grainy sweetness. Nice beer!
Clean amber color, huge white head. Aroma of smoke, malt, grain, grass, honey, hops. Sweet lightly dry taste with good hoppy bitterness in finish and aftertaste. Thin body and medium carbonation. Nice smoky and hoppy beer.
Bottle 500ml at home. From K-Citymarket Pirkkala. Pours cloudy golden with white head. Flavor has crispy malts, smoke, grass, hops,. Medium body , strong carbonation, fresh bitter finish.
Golden and clear with a big head that took time to dissipate..Smokey slightly hoppy flavour with a medium body.Left lots of lacing. Different and quite nice to drink.

Good beer
First beer after moving :DDD
Fles 50cl thuis. Kalme rooksmaak, maltig, bbq, stevig voor 4,5abv, licht klef, hoptonen, bacon, licht würzig, bitters, zacht. Goede balans.(30-7-2021).
Lighter, more of an amber lager. Mild smoke compared to their other beers. A little less clean too. Good, not great. Sterk ams
Gentle smoke flavour deep Amber beer. Mild bitterness. Nice medium fiz. Decent.
Tap (Tankerfest 2018, Juri) (7:4:7:3:13=3.4)
Gentle smoky aroma. Served a bit cold and needed to warm to brink its full character out. Soft palate. Gentle smoke in the taste too, nicely malty and bready. Pretty classic rauch - nicely mellow.
Rerate: 500ml bottle (eDrinks, Tallinn) (7:4:7:4:15=3.7)
Huge rocky head atop and misty amber. Gentle smokiness, bready malts in aroma and taste. More characterful than the tap one was, this one does have quite a peaty bite as well as a bitter one. Lovely soft palate. Crazily drinkable, and at 4.5% this is a great beer for any occasion.
