Mar 13, 2008 pours straight amber, small head. typical nose of english bitters; some caramel, nothing out of the ordinary. i guess i’m not as in love with this beer as some. seriously, i had my wife double check this, but i smelled a sweetness--not fruity, but more of a ketchup or barbeque smell. turned me off a bit. generally i love sam smith, but i think i’ll stick to IPAs over this one.

Feb 23, 2008 pours an amber with off-white head that is typical of a bitter. nose of caramel and toffee. great level of balance achieved in the flavor. nothing too complex, just good easy drinking beer. very smooth as it goes down. a bit of those wonderful English hops in the finish. well made and very enjoyable.

Feb 19, 2008 Pours reddish/copper; creamy, longlasting head produces nice lacing. Aroma mild, caramel malt with faint hops. Taste is excellent example of an English pale ale - malty, medium-to-full bodied, earthy hops. Very smooth and most enjoyable.

Feb 4, 2008 bottle. another one of those beers that smelled awful but tased darn good. amber brown color with some carbonation. this beer grew on me as it warmed. this beer only has an alcohol % of 5 but it tastes much stronger than that. kind of like a wine. dry after thought. good beer.
