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.

XXXX Best from Samuel Smith

5.8/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 5.5 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 6
Keg at the Cramond Inn, after a cycle to get there. Nice to see the place reopened. Pours like John Smith's Smoothflow, perhaps a shade darker. Malty and lightly spiced aromas. Taste is more of the same. Thin finish. Not as wassy as expected.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Amber brown colpur, off-white foam head and aroma of malt, toffee, fruit cake, wood, oak. Taste is sweet, malty, toffee, caramel, fruit loaf, raisins, with woody, oaky notes and nutty bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, malty nutty bitter finish. Nicely drinkable.

I was pleasantly surprised with this beer. The taste is well balanced, nice taste of cherry, sweet, malt, a bit sour, few hop, 27.10.2016, buying it probably at the ex grain d'Orges, Crissier, drinking it at Lausanne, Prélaz.

In my opinion, it is a correct beer with fruits, not sour like some Belgians beers. Nice touch of fruit, mineral side due to the water, 07.11.2016, buying it probably at the ex grain d'Orges, Crissier.
