Samuel Smiths Winter Welcome Ale

orange amber with a thin white head that laces. malty on the palate that balances out with plenty of hops. Moderate alcohol finish. Another fine example from this Brewery.

This is a decent brew. Aromas of fermented fruit and floral. Tastes of bittersweet maltiness. Tastes like it has more alcohol in it then it does. Dont think id get this one again.

Nice aroma of floral hops, grass and some sweet maltyness. Pours golden-amber with a nice two-finger frothy white head that settles down after a minute. Sweet malt comes through much stronger in the flavor with some yeast and a nice flowery-hoppy finish with a dry & bitter aftertaste. Creamy with medium carbonation. Very nice!

500 mL bottle poured into a pint glass. Orange-amber color with a frothy light tan head. Aroma is sweet and doughy with toffee and nuts. Flavor is bready and sugary with a mild metallic note and a lightly grassy/earthy hop finish. Medium body with substantial carbonation. Too sweet to be particularly drinkable.

Poured a good quality amber colour with nice lasting white head. Oats and malt, nice sugary mouthfeel. Nice long finish. Quite a cheeky little number! A bit in there that I lack the vocabulary and knowledge to expand on. Enjoyed this a lot.

This beer is often skunked (at least in America). As long as Samuel Smith’s insists on putting their beer in clear glass bottles, I shall remain wary of purchasing it. All I can say is ask the bartender or retail clerk when the beer arrived to protect your purchase. Seek this beer out...if it is fresh! Stong malty aromas; slight hop touch, most likely a flavoring hop. I like the subtle sweetness of the smell. Orange to dark amber in color, clear. Nice creamy head that has good staying power and leaves thin lace as the beer is consumed Surprising hop on the front of the tasting. A full creamy malt flavor is present and well-balanced with a bitterness that makes for a complex experience. The aftertaste is very long lasting and remains an excellent balance of mellow malt and zesty hop. Clearly a superior beer with excellent balance all around where all of the ingredients are noticeable. Savor the flavor profile, where the liquid transforms the flavor the longer you are able to concentrate. and then exposed to the light).

Warm amber color with nice head. Aroma of malt, some friutiness, and slight sweetness. Flavor is similarly of light, warming malts, mild candi sugar body, and some fruitiness. An easy drinking, modestly flavorful winter warmer.

Subtle, not spectacular. Dark fruit, alcohol aroma...oaty, porridge, bread body and flavours with some light floral/fruity mix just peeping through.
