Advent 2016 - 30th Trisourhots Lichtenhainer

This beer was brewed for the Brewnoser competition but I never got a chance to enter, so it's been sitting in a carboy since then. I'm sure letting a low OG beer go that long ain't great but hopefully it turns out ok. Cheers

I'm really digging the smoke character in this beer. The chipolte's add a nice kick too. Did you smoke the malt?

[LiverDance]

Thanks Adam. It's the weyerman oak smoked wheat malt

Not usually a big fan of smoke beers but I love the way it plays in with the peppers. Could stand a bit more acidity I think, but it's probably right in the ballpark style guideline wise. TBH I was kind of expecting this to be a weird mess, but I'm really enjoying it.

I couldn't drink this one. I wanted to like it but didn't. Thanks for sharing.

I also had some difficulty with this one. The sourness seemed out of place for me. I'm tempted to brew this myself with just the smoke and peppers.

I thought this was a fun beer, and I was looking forward to trying it since I'd read about the style before. I liked how you took a beer that was already smoked and sour, and decided that hell, this needs some peppers in it too. It's not the kind of beer I'd want to drink often, but it was well made and I enjoyed it.
