Samuel Smith Organic Pale Ale (55cl, 5%)

A certified organic English pale ale brewed at 5% ABV in Tadcaster, Yorkshire, England. Samuel Smith's Old Brewery was founded in 1758, making it Yorkshire's oldest brewery, and water for every batch is drawn from the original well sunk that same year, pulling hard limestone water from 85 feet underground. The Organic Pale Ale is fermented in stone Yorkshire squares using the same proprietary yeast strain maintained since the 1800s. All malted barley and hops carry certified organic status, and the brewery uses no artificial additives or preservatives. Yeasty bread and toasted malt lead the aroma, followed by caramel sweetness, lemon zest, green apple skin and Assam tea. The palate is nutty and biscuity with smooth toffee-malt sweetness, minerally bitterness, orange peel and lemon zest. The finish is medium in length with a dry, biscuit-like close and lingering mineral notes.
