Captures the soul of beer. It has a maltiness that reminds you that beer is a product of the soil. Balance of malt and hops.

Lately I’ve mostly been drinking my home made stout (would rate around a 3), so, a lighter beer which is done this well was a good change. Aroma is hoppy, and a bit earthy. Pours a large off-white head which is mostly lasting. Colour is a nice medium orangey red. Light caramel notes in the flavour as well as light to medium bitterness. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. A good, balanced pale ale.

Bottle English-style pale ale. Amber - dark colour, large frothy head. Lively aroma, bursting with hops, caramel malt and biscuits. Medium-bodied. hints of burnt. Nice package, i really like Sam´s bottles. This one is simple, yet apalling. I must say i love tadcaster brews. This one, although maybe too simple, lives up to the brewery it as brewed.

Flavoursome malt-driven English-style pale ale. Amber colour, large frothy head. Lively aroma, bursting with hops, caramel malt and biscuits. Medium-bodied and earthy. Caramel malts on the tongue and a dry bitter finish. However, it’s a fairly simple brew, with little of the complexity of some of their other ales. (Bottle)

550 ml bottle. Pours a dark copper with a creamy head that leaves a ring of lace. Faint citrus aroma, not very pungent. Taste is dominated by malts, surprisingly not very hoppy. Not a bad brew at all.

Clear amber color with a thin white head. Mild hoppy aroma. Sweet honey and malt flavor with a hoppy aftertaste.

(bottle) Pours a brilliant amber with a medium sized, bubbly, light-brown head. Maintains a deep, red-orange mahogany in the glass. Aroma is not ver impressionable; malty, a little molasses sweetness. Wonderful to the palate: a rich, slightly creamy medium body that fills the mouth and is downright fresh and clean. Like the aroma, the flavor is not terribly strong, presenting a slight malty sweetness. Overall, easy to drink, very refreshing. Will definitely return to this one at some point.

Good pale ale. Nice copper beer. Aromas of caramel, malt and fruity hop. Tastes bitterish, fruity, caramelish and slightly resinous. Pleasant.

Pours a darker amber color with a thin off white head. Aromal is of caramel, malts, a hint of hops, and a sour fruit flavor I couldn’t quite put my finger on. Flavor was the same with a slightly bitter finish. Another good Samuel Smith’s brew.
