Now something unique: a Historical Smoked Sour. The beerstyle is actually Lichtenhainer. This is my first ever Lichtenhainer. I've had a few Polish Grodziskies which are close relatives but still different. This beer colors semihazy, pale amber. Carbonation is tame, only a mediocre soapy head forms on the top and melts then rapidly away. The scent is quite interesting: smoked apple slices and lemon zest, escorted by a remote funky twist. The smoky vibe is nicely balanced, not at all acrid, neither sweet-leaning. I could bet that there's a wheaty, yet moderate, skeleton to it. The taste identity is thin, slightly sour and truly remotely smoky: sour apple juice, apple peel, lemon pulp, raw green gooseberry and wheat malt. The smoky side is neatly embedded in some of the components, most likely smoked wheat malt but it tastes like the apple was smoked. However, there's nothing funky in the taste. The body is thin. The finish carries an identical gustatory package forward. The aftertaste travels to the 19th century Thüringen with a time capsule and has a frolicking time with those strange people. The mouthfeel is thin, distantly smoky, moderately tart, dry and drying. It's zesty but flat and rather characterless. I'm trying to imagine life two hundred years ago, and this would have probably been refreshing at that time. And it still is. Very easily gulpable.
