18.7 oz. bottle- Good head, bitter mouthfeel, and flavorful. Not a bad beer, just will probably never buy again.

The first Sam Smith brew that I didn’t like. Reminds me of New Belgium’s Two Below.

bottle from KJ’s in lake dallas. poured a copperish orange color with a decent white head. aroma is sweet, caramel, fruity, orange. flavor is much the same with the addition of a good grass bitter. body was medium with high carbonation.

A clear golden beer with little head. The aroma is sweet & malty. The taste is sweet, malty & is mild & smooth easy drinking.

550ml bottle. Poured a dark copper color with a light tan head and decent lacing. The aroma is rich toasted bread, caramel, and dark fruit. The taste has a deep caramelized maltyness with nice touches of earthy hops and dark fruit. Medium bodied with nice carbonation and a slightly bitter finish.

This orange/copper ale poured with a fluffy beige head and a toffee aroma. There is a pretty good caramel malt base, but there is an unpleasant aftertaste, maybe from the seaweed, that makes it a little difficult to drink.
