gringo332 (237), Richardson, Texas, USA Nov 19, 2008 Interesting beer. it is very complex. Bottle. Pours a beautiful red with an orange glow. Not much aroma. markwise (1132), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA Nov 18, 2008 What a great sessionable beer. It pours an amber brown color with a slight off-white head. Smells like biscuity UK malt with toffee, caramel, bread, and some hops. Flavor is earthy, bready, biscuity, and a slight sweetness. It finishes with pieces of malt and toffee. joekinty (263), rockledge, Florida, USA Oct 26, 2008 A nice beer with many delicate flavors medium bodied taste really good with danish blue cheese JesseM (661), Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Oct 22, 2008 Updated: Oct 23, 2008550mL bottle from my LCBO gift pack, served in my brand-spanking new Sam Smith’s tumbler that came with a pack of 3 beers. This one pours a beautiful copper-amber with a large tan head. Aroma is just great, perfect toffee malts with a hint of caramel, and maybe even a hint of roasty barley. Flavour doesn’t disappoint with an awesome malt body to it, toffee, caramel, and a mildly bitter hop bite in the finish. Somewhat earthy, and oh-so-smooth feeling. Very well balanced. A touch of dry astringency in the aftertaste is matched so well with the abundant malty sweetness. This beer is fairly simple, just incredibly well made and tasty! movezig (137), Pensacola, Florida, USA Oct 21, 2008 Clear brown pour. Amber head nose was light malt. Very nutty. Some chocolate and light caramel. Good Fruitfly (59), , Pennsylvania, USA Oct 21, 2008 A deep amber with a thick and beautiful head. Aroma is light on malt and a bit heavy on earthiness. Theres a dry fiber quality that comes before the bitterness. OK. ILoveNewBeer (113), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Oct 21, 2008 I do love Samuel Smiths beers and this is no exception. The flavor, nose, appearance is what we’ve come to expect from this brewery.
Delicious.
This is what Budweiser wanted to be when they made their American Ale. Rynoplasty (500), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Oct 20, 2008 Pours light brown with a nice off white head. Aroma is light and malty. Taste is of English malts with a slight bitter finish. Another classic beer from Sam Smith.
