Clear brown with copper tones when held to the light. Slight head with little to no lacing. Strong aroma of malt with a sweet start and mild bitter finish.

This is an IPA before it brewers started aggressively hopping everything. Poured a clear copper/brown with just a little lacing white head. Malty aroma with a moist, earthy smell. Taste is malty, sweet. Finish is smooth, slightly sour. Best drank as "cellar" temperature.

clear amber color ... pours nicely with a firm, small head ... a fresh smell of tropical rainforest paired with earthy charcoal .... the roasted notes are dominant in the taste as well, paired with exotic fruits (bananas, starfruit) .... quite dry and a nice bitter note ... another classic from Samuel Smith ....

55 cl bottle. No yeast at the bottom. Amber clear colour with a fine head with laces. Light aroma of caramel with a little hoppy nose. Soft flavour of fruitness with hints of nuts and caramel-like.

Bottle 48F Pint. Nice malt and dry hops notes. A nice dark amber hue, with a fluffy tan head. Good taste, rich with nice slightly bitter hops and very smooth malts. A nice tasting product once again from Samuel Smith. Nice and quaffable but easily savorable. Well done. Very small bubbles of carbonation provide invigorating pricks on the tongue. I definately like this one very nice taste too it.

Bottle.

Pours a nutty orange amber color with a decent head. The aroma is grassy, some warm malt. The flavor couples rather grassy, earthy, metallic hops with a caramel malts that, though gently sweet - perhaps a bit too sweet to be maximally thirst-quenching- never really break through to dominate the flavor profile. Very faint whispers of fruitiness and also of diacetyl as well. Mouthfeel is relatively thin.

I tend to like this brewery but this is a forgettable offering.
