Commercial Description:
Smithwick’s is Ireland’s number one ale. Its exceptional taste, distinctive colour and purity of ingredients make it unique. Its rich, satisfying taste has earned it five gold medals in the famous Monde Selection Beer Tasting Competition. Smithwick’s is produced using the finest hops and special roasted, malted barley. In 1998 a new enhanced draught product with improved head retention was launched along with redesigned glassware.

Can. Aroma is quite subtle with roasted grain, caramel and artificial banana. Flavor was slightly bitter. There is some crisp cereal, roasted malt. Palatewas not as thin as I expected with lively carbonation which paired very good with the nachos. My expectations were pretty low on this one, it is a pleasant surprise.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a glass. Pours a light brown. The taste is light roasty slightly floral/fruity malt. In general pretty good.

On tap; didn’t really enjoy this one, only ordered it because they were out of what I wanted. I found the aroma was nice as was the initial taste but it had an odd aftertaste that I did not enjoy; almost tart

Up front it’s like a deliciously sweet Irish Ale, but then it turns to ass. Something goes drastically wrong. Although I got more and more used to it, I never quite got over the ass-y aftertaste.

Bottle. Light malt nose. Poured a dark amber with a thin white head. Light front. Sweet malts and light caramel dominate this fairly decent session beer

12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market, Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear copper color with a frothy offwhite head. Good head retention and lacing. Nice looking beer. Aroma of caramel, floral hops, nutty notes. Taste is caramel and nutty notes with an earthy finish. Medium bodied.

pours deep brown with a tall white head. Light roasty aroma. Lots of carbonation, rich and roasty with a strong caramel finish. Very Nice!

This beer is very common. Sometimes, it is one of the best available at most establishments. It is smooth and you can’t drink just one.
