About
Yorkshire’s Oldest Brewery. Samuel Smith brews a wide range of high quality beers, solely from authentic natural ingredients. The brewery still uses stone Yorkshire squares to ferment all its ales and stouts (except Sovereign and Extra Stout) and the same yeast strain has been used since the 1800s. Whole dried English hop varieties such as Fuggles and Goldings are used to add bitterness and aroma to Samuel Smith’s traditional ales in the antique boiling coppers. Samuel Smith’s uses oak casks for all its naturally conditioned ale. The casks are made and repaired at the Old Brewery by the brewery’s two full time coopers.

Organic / Old Brewery Pale Ale from Samuel Smith
20 years ago
6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Pour was a dark copper with a white head. Aroma was a dark fruit, almost a port wine. Flavor is toffee malts with lots of plums and other dark fruits. Leaves a nice coating on the tounge as you swallow. Very nice and interisting brew.

Bottled, sampled at Picadilly Beverage Shop in Champaign, IL. Well, I found this to be skunky as soon as the cap was popped. That’s to be expected of clear bottles, innit? Still, poured a decent looking English beer, with lower carbonation. Goes down well, with comfortable roasts, light hops and a bit of a dry finish. Appropriate to slip this one in a tasting of Octoberfest beers, since this had a bit of that color. I just need to make sure of a bottle fresh from a closed case.

Pours yellow from the bottle with no head. Decent bubbles lift up from the bottom. Smells of grass and malts. Flavor is sweetish grassiness, with some malt flavor, which makes it somewhat interesting, but overall, quite an ordinary beer.

Pours gorgeous. Orange-amber, nice head. looks delicious! Smells a bit earthy... with some decent malts in there. Flavor is plain, yet refreshing. Finishes bitter. A nice brew overall.

Bottle. Quite a pale beer with a thin frothy head. The flavour is reasonable dry with a slight toffee texture, the aroma is slightly dry but generally none descript. Overall a disappointing beer.
