Bottled. The best English ale I have found yet in Oregon. A nice beer for dinner, good looking with very good flavor and a pleasant nose

Bottled. Orange coloured with an off white head. Aroma of malts, caramel and hops. Nice malty flavour of caramel with notes of alcohol. Hoppy finish.

REVIEW # 100.This is a pretty good beer. No giant flavor anywhere, but a good first beer of the night type. Very enjoyable.

Quite a nice looking pale, dark honeyish with a great bubbly/rocky white head. That goes to leave good lacing. The aroma is mostly of honey sweet malts, though the tang of the hops is always there..this smells pretty fresh. Good tasteng ale, honeyish maltiness, always with some slightly citric hoppiness, near the end the hoppiness takes over and it ends with a good bitter aftertaste. Quie good on the palate, quite tthick for an English brewed pale. I found this beer very easy to drink, it appeals to me as a summer beer.

a HUGE suprise. this was one of the last samuel smith brews id tried so obviously my expectations were low after having had the wonderful imperial stout, oatmeal stout, and taddy porter. i am particularly an ale fan, and the samuel smith pale ale extremely disappointed me. this particular ale is much more appeasing. its one of the best ales ive ever had.

Pours an orange color with a hint of gold. Malty, tart caramel aroma. Bitter and malty up front. Rounded out with a bit of sweetness. Smooth, malty, enjoyable enough.

You can’t bang all day unless you tear off a piece in the morning. Pours dark straw with aroma of malt/corn flakes, caramel, some honey and fruit. Tastes of caramel malt, with some hops and fruit in the finish. Not bad at all.

You can’t drink all day if you don’t start in the morning. Start your day with this deep amber ale with breakfasty aromas of fresh bread, cereal, raisin and honey. Sweet honey and lemon in the flavor, and a well-balanced malt/hop presence. Delicious.
