AleSmith Grand Cru Ale
Finaly got around to cracking this one open. Pours a mostly clear rusty-brown. A bubbly off white head falls to a ring and gives off some lace. I really like the color of this one. Raisiny-datelie aroma. Niceley sweet with a caramel like quality. Alcohol is evident in the nose. Flavor is much like the aroma. Caramel/toffee like quality is more evident. A nice bittering quality at the swallow. Full bodied. Low to moderate carbonation. Syruppy but clean. Warms down the throat. Glad I finally opened this one. Good beer. This would be a nice one to impress company new to craft beer, without going over the top.
