Smithwick's is a clear beer with a rich ruby color and creamy head. Clean and delicate aroma with different individual notes: from the top fermentation by the Smithwick yeast come aromatic esters creating a fruity aroma. The Aroma Hops added late in the boil contribute clean fresh floral notes. Ale Malt contributes aroma hints of biscuit and caramel.
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.

Pint @ Kelly's Cellars, one of the oldest pubs in Belfast, if not the oldest - 1720! Finally get to have this again in order to rate it. Burnished amber pour, slightly off-white collar. Quite a light bodied amber, soft nutty notes, fruity amber malt, soft on the lips, good refresher after a long walk around town.

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.
