Aroma seemed to have a mix of citrus and nut, which is followed by a strong lemony taste which cleanses the palate making way for the nutty qualities of the beer to emerge. held on the tongue there is an almost cashew flavour right before giving into the gulp and the sting of carbonation. The progression along the palate starts off a little jerky with the lemon at the top but ends and goes nicely down to let you think about the dry ending and that next gulp! Definitely picking up this beer again. mannika (100), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 29, 2008 Reddish brown with dense tan head. Aroma is roasted malts.
Taste is some chocolate with some bitter hops, nice mild flavors and well carbonated. A slight coffee of toffee character as well. Easy drinker and would be quite sessionable. Had this bottle following a hoppy ESB so may have to re-rate later. elihapa (1051), Honolulu, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 29, 2008 From bottle. Pours a surprisingly light colored maple with fluffy carbonation. Aroma of nuts, malt, and roasted notes. Palate is medium, smooth and lightly carbonated. Very refreshing. Flavor is initially malty sweet, with hints of chocolate and walnut, then gives way to upfront hops with more intense roasts. Overall, a very nice brown ale with great flavor. The body was a tad light, but a fine offering from Sam Smith. subcell (95), Portsmouth, Virginia, USA

I wasn’t sure to expect since I’ve recently had some brown ales with a strong alcohol taste but this was something I could drink for breakfast with my pancakes anyday. Bought a single from my local store but will definitly pick up the 4 pack.
