Apr 22, 2007 Alesmith has a spectacular way of making beer to provide a great creamy, lingering head. Nice mellow hop aroma, tan color, probably very popular for non-geek beer drinkers. I rated it lower, only because I prefer big beers.

Apr 20, 2007 Pours a cloudy dark maroon with a very thin light white head. Really interesting smell. Kind of vegetal, some melon, and other fruits. A little spice too. Kind of bitter hops, a little fruit and a touch of caramel in the finish. Really easy drinking, good session brew. Another taste I get is celery or some other greens. Very interesting and quite pleasant to drink.

Apr 18, 2007 Nose of bready malts, earthy noble hops and a touch of diacetyl. Yeast and caramel notes with an underlying bad buttered popcorn character {diacetyl}.

Apr 17, 2007 Bottle at Chris_O London bottlefest March 07. Hazy amber colour with thin beige head. US grapefruit hop aroma, distinctive hop. Bit of spicy malt. Bit dull as an ESB to be honest. Hops are a little bit stale and syrupy. OK ESB, but would expect more.

Apr 14, 2007 Pretty good stuff, had this one twice now. Nice golden brown appearance with a light white head out of a bomber. Aroma of hops and sweet caramel and spice. Really nice balance, and a satisfying palate. Nothing epic, but this is a great session beer.

Apr 10, 2007 Bottle from dirty_martini. Hazy amber body with a small off-white head. The aroma is malt forward with caramel and biscuit, some fruits and light citrus. Flavor is yeasty-fruity, some bread, light grapefruit. Medium/light body with very soft carbonation and a delicate, smooth texture. Perhaps the best made Alesmith I’ve had yet and they make some good beers.

Apr 10, 2007 22 oz. bottle in a trade with WeeHeavySD. This pours out with a huge off white head and a clear coppery amber body, and there’s osme nice lace to boot. Some nice citrus over a caramel base make for a an inviting aroma. Smooth with medium carbonation and body, this has a very clean mouthfeel without any sticky sweetness. Flavor is certainlymalt dominated, but finishes nicely with some spicy hops. Very quaffable, and another excellent candidate for a daily drinker if I could get it easily.
