Samuel Smith's Organically Produced Ale
Bottle Texas Liquor Carlsbad, CA Clear copper and auburn with a thick, pillowy, persistent light brown head that leaves small lines of lace down the glass. Sweet caramel and toffee lead the way in the aroma, with biscuity and bready malts combining for a pleasantly sweet aroma. There isn't much hop presence, but as an English pale ale, that is to be expected. Very nice. The flavor too is lacking in distinct hop character, which I don't mind in this style. The caramel, toffee, and bready flavors combine well for an incredibly easy drinking pale. Medium bodied with ample carbonation. A definitive version of the style, but not quite as good as the classic Sam Smith pale ale.
