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.

Dark red color with a quickly dissipating head. Light hop flavors; nothing too noteworthy here. A safe, reliable option if you want a "comfort beer."

Malty, smooth, but pretty thin. A good guzzling beer, lots of flavor but easy to put down.

12 ounce bottle- poured out a dull tea color with a long lasting wheat head that left lacing throughout the glass. Aroma was caramel roasted malts, and the taste followed suit. Palate was excellent, smooth and rich. Definitely a keeper. Thanks to Sporty for the recommendation.

Pours a dark amber/caramel colour with a longlasting white head. Smells of roasted malt and tastes like it too. Overall pretty good. I drank this out of a shaker.

Not a bad beer however 8.99 a six pack is a little too much for this style of beer. I guess that is why I make my own. You can smell the Carmel malts when you tip the glass for a drink. a hint of roasted barley a nice roasted finish to it as well.

Pours a lovely amber brown and a slight off-white head. Aroma is roasted malt with detectable grain notes as well. Taste is the same, with a bitter ending, and the beer is creamy on the palate. It’s a very enjoyable beer; I’m always up for one of these.
