A Lichtenhainer is a sour and smoky beer from Thuringia, Germany that can be brewed with a third of Pilsener malt, a third of wheat malt and a third of smoked malt. There is no consensus on the original recipe, some variants omit the wheat, others the pilsener. Lichtenhainer has a low bitterness and a complex flavor, but is still refreshing due to its subtle balance between smoke and sour. Lichtenhainer is usually unfiltered, so some haziness is to be expected.
