beer_name: Samuel Smith's India Ale
text: A - Pours with a creamy white head that holds out for a while before settling to a thin film and leaving behind nice rings of lace. The body is reddish copper colored with good clarity. S - Grainy aroma with sweet caramel and weak hop aroma. T - Fruity with a clean malt character. A floral hop flavor emerges in the middle with moderate chalky bitterness characterizing the finish. M - Medium body, low carbonation, and a dry finish. D - Pleasant and drinkable with a nice malt character. Unfortunately the hop character is just too weak to make this a good english IPA.
