Samuel Smiths Pure Brewed Organic Lager

Samuel Smiths Pure Brewed Organic Lager

Bottle: Pasteurised.

Golden colour, floral bouquet and light flavour of newly mowed hay.

Brewed with great care using only malted barley, hops, medium-soft water and a bottom-fermenting yeast; matured at low temperatures to bring out its delicate flavour and soft hop-character finish.

The cold maturation period allows the bottom-fermenting yeasts to secondary ferment and improve the lager’s flavour, purity and condition.

1.0 Bière blonde banale. Sans trop de goût
3.4 Pours clear golden with a thick white head. Aroma of lager yeast, dry malt. Taste has bread notes, almost reminiscent of a pilsener. Palate has yeast notes, obvious flavoring from bottle fermentation. Really good.
3.8 Easy to drink malted to a taste and very old tasting
3.2 Nice lager. Better than a fosters. Not anything too special
2.7 500ml bottle from Waitrose, Rickmansworth and drunk on 08/02/2009. It’s a very solid lager and pretty true to style, like most of their beers. Gentle bready malt and light floral hop nose. Fairly crisp and mostly dry.
3.4 Pint bottle from Mitchells Wines - Clear yellow as expected , no head. After that, well a very nice lager. Probably one of the most refreshing I've had.
3.4 Nice beer i like it yes Very nice taste haha yes very good heheh niice funny
3.4 Tasted this beer. Drinkable to Pink Floyd, Elbow and other great bands. Remember to enjoy your beer in company with good friends.
3.4 Bottle. Pours light, bright gold with white head that dissipates quickly. Cracker malt aroma with some grass notes. Honey and cracker malt with some floral notes. Medium body.
3.8 Golden with foamy head. Malty grassy aroma. Mild toasted malt taste. Mild bitterness. Nice lager.
3.7 12 oz bottle. Pours a pale clear gold with a bright white tight bubble head. Lots of lacing. Scents of biscuits and bread. Big malt and bread tastes with a bright astringent mouthfeel and a crisp hoppy finish. Very solid lager.
3.6 Ar: Grass, hay, and lean, herbal noble hops; some refined orange peel; sweet biscuit. Ap: Very pale gold, crystal clear; large white head with good retention, slowly receding as a cap of gooey foam and leaving lacing curtains on the glass sides. T: Hay and rose; a slight pineapple and peach fruitiness; lightly sweet; doughy, wet malt; medium-low bitterness; a touch of chalk; peach skins and dried apricot. M: Medium-light body with high carbonation; dry finish. O: A nice lager; very drinkable; more fruitiness, but adds some good complexity, with the pineapple seeming to be something of a British signature accent.
2.8 Crisp, lightly bitter lager
3.4 Hazy golden color with a white head. Taste is light wth an orange and bready taste. Tastes like a bitter with a slight lager background. Taste has typical Sam smith water or yeast taste. I would consider it a bitter more than a lager.
3.2 Bottle Version, Light Golden, Bright, White Beer Head with fine, frothy, and firm foam, ok persistency, sparkling body. Very clean fermentation profile, Subtle malty characters such as malty-sweetness, straw, grainy, and slightly maize-like. The performance of hops is elegantly floral and slightly herbal. Light sweetness, Medium carbonation, Light Body, Medium bitterness. Refreshing. The aftertaste is clean and dry. The drinkability is great, not complicated, very enjoyable.
4.0 Tasted from bottle into sampler glass at 2019 Centennial Fest, it poured a clear golden colour with sudsy white foam, lasting with lace. Crisp and clean, grainy, grassy, definite minerality in mouthfeel (gypsum?), earthy, herbal, floral, faintest black pepper spice. Medium body and fairly dry finish, spritzy and refreshing, but not quite as light and bone dry as a German lager, there's still somehow recognizable bready English-style body and mouthfeel. Best of both worlds.
3.5 Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - golden with steady carbonation and a nicely proportioned head. Nose - green beans, corn, lemon and pale malt. Taste - pale malt and lemon. Palate - dry finish after a good journey on the palate, lightly building up through the middle. Overall - good example of the style.
2.8 Hier hat man ein einfaches Lagerbier gebraut, das von Industriebier so gut wie nicht zu unterscheiden ist: Hohe Trinbarkeit, aber kein wirklich eigenständiges Aroma.
3.6 1 pint 2.7 fl oz bottle. Hazy light straw pour with evaporating fizzy white foam head. Pretty carbonation, sweet and floral hop aroma with notes of lemon zest. First taste is remarkably crisp and deep tasting. An excellent composition for a pale lager. This beer does almost everything better than any macro pale lager you can name. Really exceptional balance between the organic malt and hops character. Yeast complexity brings out crisp flavors of clove and vanilla. Some witbier characteristics can be detected. Easily sessionable and I will certainly drink this again.
3.0 12oz bottle. Pours yellow-gold with a slight, white head. Aroma is yeast, pear, grain, and some floral hops. Taste is sweet grain with some grass, some earthiness, and a little bread. Floral finish with lingering earth. Light body. Average, grainy carbonation. Off-crisp mouthfeel.
3.6 It pours clear golden with a white head. It has a medium crisp body with mild carbonation. It has pale malt, lager smoothness, bread, caramel and light earthiness. Quite tasty.
3.8 Aroma: Bottle - crisp, clean very light crackers almost like saltine crackers in a Roma from the maltz, gentle hops in the background not overpowering but complementary and slightly citrus. Very low banana and cloves in the background. Appearance: Crystal Clear body, golden in color with a thick white head that is comprised mostly of small and large bubbles scattered throughout. Flavor: initial Impressions a solid lager, crisp, clean very clean fermentation, low notes of Granny Smith apple in the background mixed with a little bit of citrus but really the hop presence is complementary and not predominant. The Malt flavor is lightly toasted, with flavors of oyster crackers. Balance is malty and the finish is clean and not dry. Mouthfeel: body is thin with high carbonation and no alcohol warmth. There's really no astringency detected either. Overall: this is a great English lager, it's balanced not over hopped like an American lager and easy to drink. The only thing I could knock against this is the level of carbonation, but that's typically due to shipping.
4.3 Clear pale golden pour with small ring of white that laces somewhat. Aroma is wonderful bready semisweet malty goodness. Flavor follows nose yet somehow even better. One of the tastiest lagers I've ever encountered, this stuff is delicious. Finish is clean with an ever-so-slight lingering sweet note. Love it - simple, tasty!
3.2 Sample@Ølfestival København 2018 (Day 3) - pours gold with a white head. Grassy hoppy and sweet bready malty notes, yeasty touch, lemony fruity notes, straw, hay, medium to light in body, bitter hoppy finish.
3.5 Botella de @Vivalabirra, Oviedo 16/11/2018 Color amarillo claro corona de espuma blanca, aromas a cereal con notas a levadura, sabor maltosa con notas dulces cuerpo medio.rica
4.4 I am always wanting to try new beers and bought a “mix & match” six pack. Most beers are ok, but this one stood out. Not citrusy like most and too bitter. Very pleasant. Goes down smooth. Loved it.
3.0 Bottle. Pours a clear golden hue with a medium white head. A big malty yeasty nose. Sweet, very light, oranges, some marmalade. Mild, clean, husky. Solid for what it is. Not exactly meant to be much more than a light drinkable beer which it is.
2.0 Sampled from a 16 oz can this beer poured a yellow color with a huge foamy yellow-white head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was hay and phenol. The flavor was grassy, perfumey and touch citric with a phenolic undertone. Medium length finish. Light body.
3.2 Bottle. Pours a clear light golden color with a decent head. Aroma of malt sweetness citrus and some floral notes. Taste of light malt sweetness, citrus and grain. Mild bitterness and fairly clean finish. Light body, clean and quite flavorful. Not bad at all.
3.1 Tap @King William, Bristol. Pours light golden with medium head, clear. Aroma of roasted malts, bitter taste, light body, long finish, lively. Alrightish.
