Samuel Smiths Old Brewery Pale Ale

slightly cloudy copper brown, pretty dark for a pale ale. medium head and lacing, heavily carbonated. moderate sharp and almost sweet hoppiness from start to finish. with a fairly clean finish. small but notable flavor of dark roast. notes of coffee and grain. Overall a great beer thats very drinkable, also fairly distinctive and diff from most pale ales

Delicious with hints of caramel, and fruit that compliment the hoppy bitterness in a pleasing way. Very well balanced though I don’t detect the earthiness I was expecting.

500. Capped and foiled. Schmancy! Pours crystal clear very dark amber. Thickish creamy tan head. Some decent stalactites of lace poking up here and there. Bread and butter nose. Not so promising, but a little dough and butter might be the idea, ya never know. Creamy lightish body, very subdued carb. Caramel, butter, and bread on the mid-palate. A little cloying, not super refreshing.

Pours clear copper, with a one-and-a-half finger lasting beige head, good lacing. Aroma of toffee, toast, plum, banana, and a earthy grass aroma. Light bodied, zesty, crisp and lightly dry. Flavors of caramel, biscuit, citrus, grass, with some earthy notes. Well balanced and very drinkable.

Bottle pours dark amber with an off-white head. Aroma is caramel and butterscotch with fruity notes of peach and pear. Flavor displays the same with some nuts and toast. Epitome of an english pale in my opinion. Very nice.

Mild floral, and sweet malt caramel aroma. Clear amber, frothy white head, nice lacing. Roast, wood, and bittering hops flavours. Zingy front, with medium body bitter finish.

550ml bottle. Pours a brown crystal clear color with a light tan head of thick creamy foam and a strong carbonation bubbles. A sweet smell of malts and grains. Taste is creamy up front, with well balanced hops and malts. The taste finishes with caramel and slightly bitter hops.

550 ml bottle. Malmö, Sweden. Deep reddish golden colour with small off-white head. Weak hoppy aroma. Dark malty flavour with some hoppiness. Dark Strong Ale -like. Not very interesting.
