Samuel Smiths Organic Ale

Brewed by Samuel Smith
Style: Bitter
Tadcaster, England

550 Bottle. Pours a light amber color with a nice beige head. Taste is of malt, hops, caramel and is kind of sweet. Is very smooth and easy to drink. I could see drinking a lot of these. The aroma matches the taste, but is very noticeable and is quite enjoyable. Overall, I like this beer as it is tasty and quite enjoyable. I think it is a little underrated here, as it is very drinkable and very enjoyable.

Appearance: Pours a clear, copper body with a creamy, decently-sized, white head. Smell: Blended aroma smelling of pale malts, clearance fruit, and mixed nuts. As with the taste, there’s a note of English Breakfast tea with milk that comes and goes. Taste: Blend of pale malts with a touch of sugary caramel and sweet tea. Slight nuttiness. Tastes of fruit apple, plum, and even apricot. Spicy, lightly citrusy hops with a medium bitterness. A fleeting hint of tea with milk comes and goes. Finishes bittersweet with a lingering fruitiness. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A fine, respectable ale. Keenly drinkable and reasonably refreshing. Really puts you in the mood for black tea with a small splash of milk the following morning.

550 ml. bottle. Pours a nice head which deflates, lovely golden color, yeasty, slightly spicy nose, very light in the mouth, delicate and light flavors, not much complexity. This is the lightest of the Smith brews I have tasted.

Orange in color. Malty, fruity hops, some light apple, as well. Fresh fruit in the flavor, with some malts, apple and distinct grainy flavor. Medium, smooth bodied. Good ale, not great.
