New rating: On tap at Portsmouth Brewing. Bright golden colour with a malt-accented nose. Slight spiciness but more malt as well. Rounded, full, malty character is very clean and well-balanced.

Old rating: You have to love Smokeless Joe for bringing in anything he can get his hands on, including the Smutty range. Portsmouth Lager has a caramel-like colour, a touch of smoke, dried peaches and white grapes in the nose a rich sweetness in the caramelly malt palate. 7 3 6 3 13 is equal to 3.2

Clear amber body with small beige head. Aroma is strongly hoppy -- floral and German hops. Taste is slightly sweet up front, before turning to a decent German hop bitterness that lasts beyond the swallow.

Clear, light amber lager with a small, creamy, white head and ink-blot lacework. Fruity, floral aroma with notes of clover honey, cinnamon,toffee and white bread. Well-hopped and salty with blasts of grapefruit and black pepper. Moderately bitter. Medium to full-bodied with a dry mouthfeel and light carbonation. Lengthy, bitter finish.

Pours a clear dark golden with a large puffy and nicely lacing head. Dry malty aroma leads into a smooth crisp body. This beer kinda borders on being a decent micro and having too many American standard characteristics.

On tap at Portsmouth Brewery:
Grassy hops blend well with the honeyed malt sweetness...Hay crispness thins out the smooth caramel, relinquishing a velvety mouthfeel...Well-balanced and quenching, an able session pint...
