Samuel Smiths Sovereign Best Bitter

Brewed by Samuel Smith
Style: Bitter
Tadcaster, England

Pint in the Waterguard, Cardiff. Fresh aroma of scents. Clear light copper colour, maybe more on the golden side with a thin white head. fruity taste with floral notes. Crisp tangy bitter. Just felt fresh and great to drink.

dark honey colour with a decent sized head. Had a slight smell of hops with an average beer taste.

Great smooth bitter, had this on tap at a small pub in the picadilly area of London. If I ever go back I’ll definitely have this again.

Slightly musty nose, gold color, creamy nitro head. Creamy malt taste with a low bitter. Smooth texture with a medium body. Quick profile. Could use more hops - lots more. All in all a quality beer.

On tap at Horse and Groom, Great Portland Street. Amber with a thick creamy offwhite head. Fudge and citrus hops aroma. Earthy flavours blending with citrus. Good bitterness. Nice.

Draught at the Earl of Lonsdale, London - came dark copper with a thick off-white head. Probably a nitro pour. Citrusy hoppy aroma. Juicy and floral. Flavour is very fresh, citrusy, light malt, with a mild bitterness in the finish. Ultimately, very, very drinkable bitter. The hopping reminded me of American beers somewhat (though not nearly as heavy). Delicate and soft pint. Quite good.

Light hoppy and malty aroma but very faint. Light amber color, white creamy head, good lace. Creamy, bitter, bit thin. The finish is bitter but becomes sweeter and more malty in the very end.

At Chandos, Chandos Place, Covent Garden. Very drinkable beer, copper in colour, nice frothy head with good lacing, hoppy fruity (apples?) taste, nice but short aftertaste. Pleasant.
