Smithwick's Ale
Pours a deep amber color with a nice cascading effect, ending in a half-inch creamy head. Nose is kind of funky, like a cheap American adjunct lager - a little bit of sweet malt, but mostly skunkiness/garbage. The taste is a little smoky up front, with a bit of a phenolic quality. Overall, it's bitter, but not from the hops - maybe the tap lines haven't been cleaned in a while. Mouthfeel is good, rich and creamy. Not the most drinkable beer, but it goes down easier after a while.
