Refreshing and clean taste with a gentle balance of bitterness from the hops added early in the boil, sweet/malty notes from the ale malt, and hints of roast/coffee from the roasted barley.

Clear red amber with creamy off white head. Malty, red berry fruits mixed, light flora caramel. Taste is a little thin but quite tasty with caramel malts, fruity berry, raisins, somewhat dusty and semi dry, light but slick with moderate carbonation. Decent

$3 can from The Guinness Shop, Las Vegas. Pours a red/brown with a giant head of foam atop. Very light carbonation. Very mild malt and grass nose. Smooth texture, easy to drink, foamy lacing. Standard Ale.

Bière bue au temple bar à Dublin. Reçue suite à une erreur dans ma commande. Bouche crémeuse, bouche très légère où il est difficile de sentir les propriétés d'une red ale mais puisque je ne suis pas fan de red ales, ça m'arrange. Juste correct.

Probably would be a little more lenient towards this pint if I hadn’t just had Hutton & Smith’s damn fine Irish Red, which blows Smithwicks out of the water. Not a terrible beer, just a very safe one, with mild notes of caramel and toasted bread and a little clove, but lacking much punch on the back end.
