Tasting Notes
Crisp & Clean with a hint of smoke
Went to the brewery here in Denver and took the tour. Drank my first b3k and loved it. Hope you like it too. Gotta lager this for at least two months to get it to clean up. Smoke taste fades a little after aging and it's not so strong as when the beer is young.
