Hudspart (283), Hudsonville, Michigan, USA May 12, 2008 22 oz bottle: Great beer. Pours dark amber with a small head. Aroma of caramel and malts. Sublime flavor of caramel, malt and slight hops. Very drinkable.
Tweety (158), Boston, Massachusetts, USA Jul 13, 2008 Bomber, thanks doubleo! Pours a light reddish with a good-sized white head. Nice hops with some malt balance in the aroma. This is just a well-balanced drink. Neither the bitterness nor the malty sweetness overpowers, they’re just superbly well-balanced. I really enjoyed this one, and I’d love to see more beers like this widely distributed. Another Alesmith beer that it’s too bad (or maybe good) I can’t get more regularly, cuz I’d drink a LOT of it. Dogbrick (2165), Columbus, Ohio, USA Jul 8, 2008 Sample at San Diego Brewing Company. This beer is a clear bright amber color with a medium thin off-white that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. The aroma is malty with some fruit and hops in the background. Medium body with equal parts malt and hops flavor. Spice and fruit notes as well. The finish is sweet malt at first with mild hops left over. Not bad overall. but I expected more from Alesmith. bluemeow76 (685), Lewis Center, Ohio, USA Jul 4, 2008 On draft at San Diego Brewery. I was not overly impressed with this beer. My first impression was literally of cardboard. Very average in my opinion. blutt59 (501), Dallas, Texas, USA Jul 1, 2008 bottle, ruby to orange color, very hoppy malt nose, flavor is very IPA except for the chocolate and leather notes as it finishes, beachbum25 (578), Powellville, Maryland, USA Jun 22, 2008 22 oz Bomber-Dark ruby red color w/a moderate tan head. Roasted malt aroma. Roasted malt flavor w/traces of biscuit, caramel, toffee, cane sugar, & some dark fruit. Long finish w/just the right touch of bitterness. Solid brew, found it to be similar to thier Wee Heavy.
