Available in May? Not in Toronto, we've got it now! Light hay colour, kind of hazy; lightly earthy, hoppy nose (spalt?); a little bit acidic, light carbo for the style; dryish finish. It's a tasty drop, but not authentic by any means.

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.[BR][BR]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

Americna pale? This is all English, folks. Orangey dark red hue; earthy malts, what I believe to be fuggles, bitter chocolate, plums and maybe a touch of peat on the nose; medium body; earthy palate, bark-like flavours, herbal bitterness, dark unsweetened chocolate; finishes bittersweet.

Nice copper color. Thin head. Excellent citrusy spicy aroma. Crisp flavor - plenty of nice hop flavor and big round malty mouthfeel. Excellent balance.

Interestingly, my sample was also badly contaminated with lactobacillis. Badly soured. Other: nice dark, almost black color. Beneath the souring lurked what seemed to be a pretty good roasty porter.
