Nov 10, 2007 2007 50cl Bottle poured into a dimpled mug. Lovely looking beer with a clear amber/brown colour. Nice carbonation building a thin white head and nice lacing. Lite caramel iand spice in the aroma, flavour was a little bland with spice and hop. Nice but nothing great.

Nov 10, 2007 550 ml bottle. Lighter color than I would have expected- more like an Anchor Steam or Sam Adams Boston Lager. Flavor is mildly hoppy, some pepper? Smooth, very drinkable, but not as complex as I remembered.

Nov 9, 2007 (2007 Bottle)
Appearance: Clear, light brown body with a small white head that recedes fairly quickly.
Smell: Toasted malt aroma with a bit of caramel and mild notes of berries and spicy hops.
Taste: Biscuity, toasted maltiness with a subdued caramel sweetness and a hint of berry fruitiness. Dries out into a light spicy bitterness. Finishes same.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: It’s fine, however wholly unremarkable it may be.

Nov 8, 2007 Orange copper in appearance with a small, off-white head. Aroma of carmel malt with floral and citrus hops. Flavour is rather dry, not much malt sweetness and a good amount of alcohol flavour, and the hops become more prominent causing the taste to be a bit bitter. The flavour is quite a departure from what I expected from the aroma. The finish is bitter but short. It has a good mouthfeel with a generous amount of carbonation with a medium body. I’ve liked every Samuel Smith brew I’ve tried up until now; I do have to say that I’m a little let down by this one. It’s not bad but there are many other Samuel Smith brews I prefer to this one.
