Samuel Smiths Old Brewery Pale Ale

Brewed by Samuel Smith
Style: Premium Bitter/ESB
Tadcaster, England

Bottle. This one was similar to the India Ale. I recommend all Samuel Smith beers.

Bottle Good head and aroma slight hint of hops and fruit taste of malts. Nicely balanced.

0,5 l bottle, shared with neighbour Kjetil, who bougth it in Cardiff. Copper color, lovely beige head. Aroma is sweet malt and fruit. Flavor is the same, with caramel malt.

bottle. small off-white fizzy (fully dissapating) head into dark amber body with no lacing present. aromas of moderate malts and no hops initially noted (though light floral hops were noticed shortly). flavor is lightly sweet throughout that slightly dimishes in the finish. not as impressed as i was anticipating.

Bottle. Poured a dark copper. Much deeper in color than most other pale ales. Big creamy off-white head that laces nicely. Weak nose of sweet malt and fruit, slight hints of hops. Tastes of caramel malt and balanced nicely with a micld hop finish. Pretty sweet overall. Not as many hops in this beer as an american pale ale. But it is a very typical English style beer that I would definitely recommend. It is better than Bass.

Bottle: Amber color and fruitful nose. Nice light tan head with fair lacing. A very floral fruity taste with a nice hint of malt

Deep amber red color with a smallish head. Malty light easy going taste with some fruity and hoppiness there also. Real easy going beer that you can sit down and have a few of.

Pretty good beer, but not quite up to their usual level. The color is a little darker than most Pale Ales I’ve tried. It does have a nice foamy tan head and a lot of lace on the glass. The aroma is mild. Not as hoppy as other Pale Ales. I get some malt and spices in the flavor with a hoppy finish accompanied with a shot of sour fruits. Decent.
