Samuel Smith's Old Brewery Pale Ale Review




Type: Pale Ale

ABV: 5%

Sight: Deep dark orange with an almost brown hue. The head pours a creamy off-white that is half a finger thick

Aroma: Light orange tang at first, then malt shines on the deeper the inhale...some spice adds to the tingle of alcohol.

Taste: Sweetness of citrus and malt hit first, then the transition to close, is a tad sour with a moderate amount of alcohol tingles.

Overall: Nice balanced light body with a friendly citrusy backbone. The malt melds well with the alcohol to get to the tangy end. That alcohol  is an asset to the beer in that it keeps the front and back leveled to make this a nice balanced ale.

Score: 8.5/10
