Description
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.

Bottled. Poured a pale fizzy yellow. Pretty standard aroma, taste was refreshing and not a whole bunch of alcohol. Pretty god.

Bottled. Have never gotten around to rating this and was pleasantly surprised because I had forgotten what it tastes like. Anyway it is a coppery colored with some malts, very light and very drinkable, am torn between the lack of hops and bitterness being bad or pleasant.

Bottle. Must have been an old one. Poured dark with a medium head but had a stenchiness more than an aroma, and a taste that just wasn’t right.

Fles gedeeld door Roelzie. Geprobeerd met Mimi, Rik, Tessa en Guus. Het is een diep donkerbruin bier met een bruinig schuim. Het heeft een aroma van gebrande mout en chocolade. De smaak is gebrand, koffie en wat chocolade.
