Bottle. Beer was ok. Taste was pleasant but not great. Samuel Smith’s other beers are much better. I woudl say it’s good for one beer but trying once is enough.

Õlle on selline jook, et iga uus kord kui klaasi või pudeli suule tõstad, siis leiad midagi uut, sõltuvalt tuhandest-miljonist pisiasjast, mis hetke olukorda mõjutavad. Seega piirdun iga õlle juures selle tekstiga.

pours slightly hazy amber orange colour, topped with medium sized offwhite head, slowly settling. Medium biscuity malty aroma, some honey and some peachy notes. Mildly bittery, medium malty sweet and lasting herbal aftertaste.

From Sep 2007

Purchased at Bi-Rite in Casper for US$3.29

It pours from 550ml bottle a clear gold with a nice thick head of foam that shrinks *very* slowly and ends up as a fine solid layer with good lacing.
The second pour gives me a hazy brew and that's fine by me.

The smell is a mix of malt sweetness and hop citrus that is light on the nose.

The taste has a very good malt flavour up front with some caramel, some bread, a touch of fruit, and some roasted malt.The hops throw in some good citrus notes that help balance the malt and the end result is a very nice, flavourful and very drinkable Pale Ale.

The finish is bitter but nice, the mouthfeel is spot on for the style and the carbo is light. Very good stuff!
