beer_name: Samuel Smith's India Ale
text: 550ml Bottle Appearance - The beer pours a clear copper colour with an average size frothy beige coloured head. There is an average amount of carbonation and there is some very nice lacing running in stages down the sides of the glass. The head lasted for a few minutes before it began to dissipate. Smell - malts, caramel, lemon juice, raisins Taste & Mouth - The beer is has an average amount of carbonation and feels creamy on the palette. Most of the taste is made up of caramel, malts, and some light hops. There are also notes of lemon juice, raisins/figs and some cask wood. The beer finishes with a slightly bitter malty and fruity aftertaste. Drink - An interesting beer that is worth a try. I prefer the citrus/hoppy IPA's but I'm happy I gave this one a shot.
