Tap at Blue Smoke. Pale amber beer with a thick white head. Aroma is pretty solid. Soft crackery UK-type malts. Lightly earthy with a light fresh yeastiness as well. Soft crisp noble hops, a little bit floral and spicy. Great balance. Finishes dry and toasty with a soft fresh hoppiness. Pretty solid session beer.

This beer is only available on tap at Blue Smoke, a barbecue restaurant. Clear amber brown color with a nice lacing on top. Toasted malty caramel sweet taste with a nice bitter hops, slightly dry finish in the back of the mouth but ends with a nice floral high note coming from the hops. Complex flavors that went quite well with the meat and their sweet and spicy bbq sauce. I would recommend to have it with the ribs.

On Tap at the Blue smoke. Good looking light amber with nice lasting head. Aroma was fruity and flowery with some herbal and earthy hints. Some caramel malts as well. Flavor is balanced. Sweet crystal malts and light fruity hops blend very well. Nice smooth slightly crisp finish. Goes well with all their great BBQ food. A recomended beer and a recomended restaurant.

Draft at the Blue Smoke. Fruity, fine balance between malt and hops. Not extreme in any way, but it is very impressive that they choose this as a house beer and not an anonymous lager.

tap @ Citi: ... and then from left field comes... a reason for me to continue being a Mets fan! Contrary to other ratings, I believe this is the better of the 2 ales offered at the stadium. A more complex tasting beer, I get a full balance of hops, malts, biscuit, and dark sugars.

Draft at Blue Smoke. Good ESB coloration and good head on a 20 oz. pint. Both spicy and floral hops on the nose, with a deep malt background. The beer has more depth than its color suggests, with a resinous middle palate and a crisp finish.

Draft @ the Blue Smoke concession stand at Citi Field. Clear amber color with a decent off-white head. Malty start to the aroma with some earthy notes. Malty flavor with a fair amount of hops. Mild-moderate bitter finish. Light bodied.

Great looking brown ale. Medium body, sour, floral taste, good bitter finish. Signature beer of Blue Smoke, a barbecue restaurant on 27th Street in New York. Went nicely with the smokey tender meat.
