Samuel Smiths Old Brewery Pale Ale

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

Bottle(550mL): Poured a light amber in color with a small, white head. Smell has a bit of fruit, some berry in there it smells, but I can’t pin down the type. It’s very interesting. It smells very sweet. Flavor has an interesting taste. Again, I notice what seems to be some sort of berry flavor, the more I drink, it seems like it may be a slight raspberry, but again, I am not positive on that. Taste is pretty malty, with maybe a hint of hops in it.

Attractive amber color, and a head that refuses to lace. The aroma is good, but the flavor is much better. Nice balance of malt and hops, with a pleasant aftertaste. Very drinkable - may I have another?

550 ml bottle - pours clear amber, with a big rocky beige head tha lasts forever. Nutty and hoppy aroma, with some malt in there. That distinctive British aroma. Nice taste - upfront maltiness with a good amount of fresh hops, and a pleasant slightly bitter finish. Nothing to write home about, but good stuff nonetheless.

550ml bottle. Pours an almost glowing amber colour, very nice under the light. Nice ’bright’ aroma, which speaks loudly of what the flavour will bring. This is a very smooth beer, balanced nicely between the malt and hops, with a pleasant earthiness and bitterness in the finish.

had this i think from a gift pack, enjoyed it nice pale ale, amber colour, some head. good flavour

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.
