| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 5, 2009 Pours golden copper with a small off white head. The aroma is toasted malt with some light diacetyl, dry caramel/toffee and minor biscuit. Medium lightly rough body with some light sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with some toasted malt, a bit of corn, some diacetyl, lots of phenolic spice and minor hops. The finish is quite phenolic. Okay beer.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 28, 2009 it seems like sam smith prides itself at making good english session beers and this one is right on pace. I actually ordered an old brewery pale ale and got this, but thats alright. nothing too distinctive, not overbearing in any taste, balanced between hops and malts, not too much white head and lacing, could envision having about 10 of these in a pub on a rainy day in london.
