Samuel Smiths Old Brewery Pale Ale

Obviously not a pale ale. Yet another Brittish beer being deceptive about what type of beer it is. Very low bitterness. Decent caramel malt flavor, tastes more like a dark lager. Very smooth and drinkable with low carbonation.

Dark copper pour with diminishing off-white head. Strange aroma, a bit like leather and sour milk with a hint of hops. Tastes a bit chalky and musty. This beer should come in a green bottle.

550 mL bottle. Reddish brown with fizzy white head. Malty and earthy aroma. Taste of malt and a grainy slightly bitter finish.

Clear bottle: Caramel malts, an oxidized scent, almost nutty in aroma with some, smoke, Appearance is a reddish/brown semi translucent with a off white head that lingers. Taste definately got some good smooth caramel maltiness to this brew. Goes down really smooth. slightly bitter with a nice smokey and nutty finish. Overall, hey it’s drinkable, the nose is a little off, but the taste pulls through to actually make it a solid brew. I like it.

Only the 2nd Sammy’s I’ve rated....funny. Nice malt first pale ale with just a bit of hops to remind you they exist. A bit floral with some honey sweetness. Good session ale.

Bottle poured into a pint glass. Pours amber with a average size fizzy white head. The aroma is of toasted and caramel malts with a slight piny hop aroma. The flavor is quite complex, toasted caramel malts, piny hops with some banana and a slight hint of nutmeg. The body is light to medium with watery and oily texture and lively carbonation. Overall it is pretty good, nice and malty and finished off by a nice bitterness.

very very similar to their india ale. actually i cant tell much of a difference, but still very very good, and very drinkable. goiod session ale.

xxx what can you say about samuel smith except its great. this isnt their best, but still very drinkable.
