I have to admit I'm not 100% sure that this beer is any different to this, but for now I'll add it as a separate beer and see if I can get some confirmation. I have a feeling that it might be the same, because I know for a fact I've drunk this many...
550 mL bottle in the usual Sam Smith's fruit series presentation. This bottle came from Horrocks in Battle Creek, MI. Aggressive pour serves up a pitted white head that is not too well retained, on top of a pretty, bright orange body. Tiny amounts...
Additional notes 07/13/23 One of the relatively new, 12 oz slender bottles. Ostensibly a black pour, but some red-garnet highlights at the edges. Head decent, but retention and lace not great. Nose is a cocoa powder extravaganza, quite...
Additional note 02/03/23 (pictured) A cloudier, more brownish/orange color than the red garnet noted in 2009 below. Head is excellent this time around too, with good retention and some fantastic lace. All in alll it looks quite different to what it...
Additional notes 07/06/23 (pictured) 14 years on the notes and experience are basically identical. Sam color, same nose and tastes, same attitude. Original notes 07/02/09 550 mL bottle from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. Poured into a wine glass. Pour...
Additional notes 06/20/23 (Pictured) Now $7.99 for the 550 mL bottle, from Horrock's Market, Battle Creek, Michigan, USA. Fourteen years on, and almost identical thoughts to those that are given below. Strong raspberry seed on the nose, and still...
Additional notes 08/13/23 (pictured) Not as sweet or cough syrupy as one might think, it's still as drinkable (on rare occasion) as it has been over the years. The fruit is prominent, but it has a light, tart cherry edge. has a lot of the 1970s and...
Additional notes 07/08/23 (pictured) This is now called "Pure Brewed ORGANIC LAGER BEER". This is a 355 mL bottle from Half-Time, not one of the old, larger bottles. The clarity and pale color of the pour is quite staggering, as is the lacing which...
550 mL, dark brown, sturdy looking bottle, so not quite a full English pint, but almost there. Pours to give a nice soapy looking thin head, a golden orange body and a hint of chill haze. The nose is made up mainly of sweet hops. As expected a mild...
Additional notes 02/05/23 (pictured) Still not a beer that gets me excited. There's a lack of depth for my palate which may have been spoiled by almost 2two-and-a-half decades in the USA (I accept that), but it always feels a bit thin. I have this...
Beautiful crystal clear copper colored pour, with a small off-white head and some lacing. Soft, sweet malts dominate what little aroma there is. The aroma, of course, improves with warming. Very malty all the way through which is not necessarily...
Pictured 07/13/23 Original notes 02/27/05 A definite viscosity in the pour, that, coupled with the opaque blackness, lets you know that you are in for something of genuine quality. Pour is classic, black stout black, with a small, bubbly head that...
Additional notes 07/09/23 (pictured) Color, as noted below, a resplendent orange, with some tremendous head and some decent lace. Cracking looking. As notes, a classic, light drinking, subtley hopped (in the grand scheme) ale that dances on the...
What's this all about then? I have to laugh at the style that BA lists this as, "Euro Pale Lager". Of course, Americans are still under the impression that England is part of Europe in a way that reaches beyond geography, when *we* all know that...
2025-2026 05/27/26 In May, possibly a little past its best. A touch more bitterness than usual, but still delicious. 2022-2023 (pictured) 11/26/2022 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II commemorative edition. So, so flavorful as always, but if it's...
Pictured 07/13/23 Original notes 02/07/04 550 mL clear bottle, Arbor Beverage Depot, Douglasville, GA. $3.99. Jet black, and pours with a beautiful frothy, thick head. The head is almost a strawberry blond in color and is persistent. The overall...
Pictured in Athens, GA, USA on 12/17/21. Updated Review 02/08 355 mL bottle as single as a gift from Penney - many thanks. Sherry aromas are still present for me (after all these years). Simple beer, remains smooth and tasty. I like a little more...
