Jul 13, 2007 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.

Jul 12, 2007 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.

Jul 11, 2007 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.

Jun 27, 2007 $3.99 at Beverage Resort in Kennesaw, GA.
Appearance: Pours a reddish-copper body with a foamy, yellow head.
Smell: Light aroma of floral, soapy hops with a bit of earthy butterscotch.
Taste: A fairly light, almost vacant butterscotch maltiness with some mild, English hops showing in the drying finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Moderate carbonation.
Drinkability: A humdrum offering from Samuel Smith’s Old Brewery that really pales in comparison to their Imperial Stout, Oatmeal Stout, Taddy Porter, and Nut Brown Ale. Ah well.

pours is a clear amber-orange with a tint of red, a small off-white head that dissipates quickly, and a little lacing.
smell of malt, grain, a touch of caramel, some citrus, and some roasted nuts.
taste is creamy up front, well balanced hops and malts, grain, some caramel, and hops in the back, end is dry and a tad bitter.

Jun 21, 2007 Bottle. Red copper pour with a small but foamy head. Pleasant hoppy aroma with the touch of butterscotch I expected. Flavor’s good too, with just enough hops to balance the maltiness as well as the distinctive diacetyl flavor. Smooth drinking. One of the better English Pales I’ve tried.
