Samuel Smiths Organic Ale

Brewed by Samuel Smith
Style: Bitter
Tadcaster, England

Bottle: Amber coloured, big off-white fluffy head, slowly diminishing; fruity, distinctive sweet-malty nose a touch of molasses and floral hops; quite dry bitter flavour, light to medium bodied; dry fruity, hoppy bitter finish. Nothing unpleasant detectable..........

This is what I would call a subtle beer: weak, watery with okayish grassy hops that barely manage to squeeze an ephemeral taste of citrus out of its slight body. I like most Samuel Smith beers, but feel I had to look too hard for taste and character that in the end just weren’t there. One of the most disappointing bottles for me in a long while.

Fruity tasting and smelling beer with some caramel, a bit sourrish and an earthy hop note. Very refreshing and tasty, but average.

Clear amber colour with thin off white head. Mild fruity malt nose. Mild sweet malt taste with slight bitter hop and mild warming alcohol finish.

Mildly fruity aroma with a watery taste. Slightly dry finish. Not bad for a Bass clone

Pours to a very clear pale glowing golden body with lots of carbonation and a foamy light tan head. The aroma is very floral with alfalfa hay, green apples, and apple skins. The flavor is not the best. Apple skins, sweet adjuncts. Over carbonated for a bitter. Seems off and this is a fresh bottle. This is definitely a beer I can live without. Drain pour.

Light brown hue – bitter caramel, malty, molasses, cherries, oak nose- sour, mold, grass, hay caramel taste – medium body- sour earthy aftertaste

An amber pour, abit on the mild side, very easy drinking, quite enjoyable, but was hoping for more, not bad, but could be better. Some hops, not much, abit sweet.
