Samuel Smith’s Nut Brown Ale

Samuel Smith's Nut Brown AleBeer-a-Day #60

This is the beginning of Samuel Smith’s week. Samuel Smith Brewery is an independent British brewery in Tadcaster, Yorkshire, England. The brewery itself is Yorkshire’s oldest brewery, and was founded in 1758.

I always worry about beer from across the pond, especially when it’s not one of the really popular ones on this side. But, I took a chance and picked up the seven different styles my retailer had on hand.

Medium brown with a finger’s width of off-white head. Nice, malty, bready aroma, with a bit of molasses. Nice mellow flavor with a smidgen of roastiness. This one, at least, made the journey well. I’m not much for Nut Brown’s, but this is pretty good.
