Clear, medium amber with a tan, frothy head. Aroma is lightly sweet malty, slight caramel. Medium bodied with decent carbonation. Flavor is a bit malty, sweet, light roasted...very light. It’s not too shabby, for what it is; an easy drinking pub ale.

Evaluation number 40. November 2010. Aroma is slightly alcohol. Color is brown with a very long lasting head. Taste: Attack comes with a slight bitterness (just enough). We can feel a very good balance between malt and hop. Very good balance. Pleasant beer.

Big fucken can @ home, picked up at Wilbur’s Fort Collins. Pours an orangish brown appearance with a khaki head. Earthy/herbal hoppy, cracker, light caramel, a touch metallic aroma. Biscuity, toffee, light caramel, bready, herbal/grassy, somewhat bitter flavor. Not too hard to drink but not really my thing either.

Draught at a Guinness event in Tel Aviv. Deep reddish amber color. Aroma of malt, light toastiness and minerally notes. Sweetish flavor, with some malt a bit caramelly, with faint toasted bread hints and a light minerally/earthy bitterness. Pretty light-bodied. Kinda drinkable but pretty bland and watery.

Brown with huge foamy head and lots of lacing. Sweet malt, light caramel roast, light bitter finish. Thinner than appears by the looks. OK, no surprises or major disappointments. Macro that has more taste than most of them.

Draught at Pitchers, Örebro, on May 24, 2013. As "Smithwick’s Superior Irish Ale".Clear copper to brown color, dense milk white head. Caramel, fudge, toffee, cream, malty (particularly English style malt like Maris Otter), grainy, dry taste. Slight roasted, butter, dry, grainy aftertaste. Spritzy fizzy mouthfeel, medium low bitterness. Malty, sweet, fruity, caramel, butter, English malt (again I’m thinking Maris Otter) scent.

Bouteille 330ml. De couleur cuivrée et claire. Nez de grains de malt légèrement rôtis avec des notes de caramel doux et légèrement terreux, de houblon herbeux, de pain et de noix. Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture très légèrement crémeuse. Léger goût de grains de malt pâle sucrés aux notes croustillantes avec de faibles traces de fumée de cigarette lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un léger goût de caramel doux aux petites notes terreuses avec des notes de pain grillé. Parallèlement, l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon floral herbeux ainsi que des notes de noix jusqu’en finale. Post-goût moyen, légèrement amer de houblon floral aux notes herbeuses avec des notes rôties ainsi que des traces de noix. (2006)

Drought. Amber with whitish small foamy head, doughy aroma, flat, slightly metallic taste, abrupt finish. Very much an industrial attempt.
