WORLD BEERS
By Sir Lucky Day
[Excerpt] SAM SMITH: Oraganic Ale (5.0% abv) "I've yet to have a beer from Sam Smith that was not fantastic, and their Organic Ale is no exception. It pours a deep caramel color with a tight white head. The aroma is scrumptious with notes of golden malt, apples, and pears. It's medium body cascades effortlessly across the tongue in a wave of blissful balance. The malty beginnings is met by flavors of fruit in the mid-palate, gently easing away into a soft bitter, dry finish. It's not like a roller coaster, but akin to a top-down drive through the country in a 1962 Corvette. Caremely malt becomes more expressive as it warms and the sense of balance only grows deeper."
