Aroma bready, slightly sweet, some skunkiness. Spotty, foamy lacing. Pleasant light mouthfeel. Flavor lightly malty, bready, some bitterness in finish. Not bad, a little bland but OK. onelststnd (19), Bakersfield, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 25, 2005 I tasted that lager on Christmas Eve. I usually enjoy Samuel Smith, and this one was no exception. It has a lemony taste but overall, not a bad lager. harrisoni (6830), Ashford, Kent, England

Some acids, some lemon,a bit bland really. Saving grace si the finish which is really quite pleasant, even has some juicy malt/fruit. Best of the 3 Sam Smiths lagers that we had chriso (4810), London, Greater London, England
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 18, 2005 Bottled at the Champion, Fitzrovia. As lagers go, I thought this was pretty reasonable. Deep gold colour. Not much aroma (it was quite cold). Dry, with some lemony citrus and a decent amount of bitterness. Firm mouthfeel. But, at the end of the day, its just another lager.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Dec 10, 2005 (Bottle 50 cl) Beautifully golden - some floating impurities though - with a decent head. Very mild and drinkable lager. Malty base and only a subdued bitterness. Sympathetic but perhaps also somewhat anonymous. 081201 mjg74 (2000), La Mesa, California, USA

Aroma is grainy with some maltiness. A little watery. Well it is better than Bud, but it is nothing exciting. Refreshing enough though.
