Good sized white foamy head. Aroma of light hops and plenty of toasted malt and some lightly sweet toffee/caramel. Flavor starts out with a hint of bitter hops, a good dose of light fruit hints (light raspberries and nectarines) and then develops a big sweetness from the malt. It’s that typical sam smiths yeast flavor mixed with toasty toffeeness. A good bitter, but sticks to the palate and gets a bit too malty and boring towards the end. As with most filtered light beers, seems a bit lifeless. KAggie97 (2476), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA

The body has a sheen and succulence to it that is very inviting. Soft, smooth honey flavour. Biscuity, bitter finish. Silk smooth palate. AlabastorJones (765), San Francisco, California, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 26, 2004 Light golden appearance, thin, tight white head, slight lacing. Fruity, bready aroma. Excellent mouthfeel, just feels right. Interesting flavor, spicy, yet sweet at the same time. Has an appealing fruity, all around "ale" like taste to it - classic and smooth going down.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 26, 2004 Pretty dry with lots of hops. Tart. Reminds me a lot of some of the brews that I’ve had from upstate New York. Citric perhaps. Very subtle, pretty well-crafted, but nothing impressive.
