Sep 4, 2008 Nose in the bottle leads to a really odd, funky smell at first- like stinky feet. After the pour it opens up and smells a bit more of sour hops. Still not a great smell... reminds me of sour dog piss, no kidding. Nice bronze color to it, though. As long as I keep my nose away I can easily handle it- some good bitter, a bit sour hops. Sam Smith loves their ESB, and they do them well. This is an enjoyable beer but not a pale ale in the least. A bit tart, very malty. Average mouthfeel- what I expected. Another good brew from Samuel Smiths. I’m becoming an enormous Samuel Smiths fan, these are some high quality brews for no more than $3. Thumbs up.

Sep 3, 2008 The Old Brewery Pale Ale was my first Samuel Smith beer. I was not let down at all, and I wanted to try more from their brewery. After pouring it into a pint glass, the color was tempting enough in itself to try, and the aroma was very nice as well. The overall taste of the pale ale was impressive. It is not my favorite pale ale, but I would never turn a bottle down. Great stuff, guys.
