Sampled draught (nitro) at Stockholm Beer Festival.
Amber coloured with creamy head. No aroma. Unclean mellow body, very sweet and lacking in just about everything.

Orange colour with yellow tones. Malty aroma with hoppy tones. Stony, dry flavour. I have never understood this pseudo-beerstyle, Smooth. Both John Smith and this is very weak and just uses the nitro-carbonation as an excuse for brewing quite lousy beers.

This is really more of a brown ale. Cloudy brown color. Grassy nose. Pale malt flavor is predominant. I didn't like this as much as the Angel Ale.

This beer has a amber body - hue with a sweet initial flavor and a light body.
