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.

55 cL bottle. Pours clear golden deep amber with a dense off-white head. Light hoppy to malty aroma. Flavour is light fruity and of malt. Medium dry and light herbal bitterness. Towards a mild mouldy note. Medium dry finish with a mild bitterness.

Pours a reddish brown with a small but soapy white head. Aroma of caramel, malt, hops and earthiness. Flavor is sweet malt, caramel, and a little hop bitterness. Goes down smooth with a bitter earthy finish.

Pours reddish amber with two finger white head. Aroma is caramel malt and a bit of earthy hops. Flavor is very sweet with caramel and toffee present. Hop character is light and nearly goes under the radar. Some floral and cirtus hops near the finish. Palate is smooth and creamy for the style- finishes clean and crisp with a bit of bitterness.

Overall, a pretty good pale ale. Aroma of hops and nutty caramel. Taste is a bit hoppy, but not bad. Overall, another great beer from Samuel SMiths.

I really enjoyed this beer. Pours light brown with a tan head. Good balance between the malty sweetness and hoppy bitterness. This would be a good session beer.

Nice amber color pour with a thin tan head. Sweet nutty caramel malt aroma, along with a hint of fruit. Flavor is also sweet and malty, with a nice hoppy bittering finish. Medium mouthfeel. Pretty refreshing.
