Samuel Smith India Ale: A Typical Example of the Modern English-Brewed IPA

by mrkstvns Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Jun 20 '05
Pros: Nice chewy complex malt character...
Cons: Malt shouldn't be prominent in IPA---NEEDS MORE HOPS! (LOTS more...)
For a beer style born of England's great ale breweries, India Pale Ales brewed in England today sure are a pale shadow of their once lofty reign of empire. To be perfectly blunt, most English-brewed IPAs that you can buy today pretty much stink. ...

India Pale Ale, With a Yorkshire Twist

by Bruguru Bruguru is a Lead on Epinions in Restaurants & Gourmet, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Feb 01 '07
Pros: Complex malty flavors, dark fruity Yorkshire notes, complex and tasty.
Cons: Light on the hops for an IPA.
American beer lovers have this problem. They’re spoiled on over the top, super-hoppy, intensely bitter India Pale Ales (IPAs for short). And indeed, that’s what a lot of American IPAs taste like. But here’s the thing. It was the British who ...

Samuel Smith India Ale (IPA): Another classic reproduction from Sam

by andaryl Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 03 '01
Pros: Smooth, buttery, well malted, slight hop
Cons: May be too light on the hops for IPA fans
Based in Yorkshire, England, Samuel Smith is probably my favorite brewery, accounting for 3 of my top 20 beers (Oatmeal Stout, Imperial Stout and Taddy Porter). Founded in 1758, it is an uncompromising brewery deeply believing in traditional brewing...

Hoppy India Pale Ale

by kurt_h Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Feb 08 '00
Pros: Smooth IPA from Britain
Cons: Could have used just a bit more brewing for my taste
Samuel Smith's India (Pale) Ale is a fine representative of the craft. I've been impressed by many of the IPAs put out by US micro-breweries like the Wild Goose product. I found the Sam Smith's IPA to have less hops aroma than the Wild Goose product,...

One for the Long Haul

by LaFeet Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 20 '00
Pros: flavorful, smooth
Cons: pricey
I had one of these last night.. and I forgot how much I enjoy a nice tall bottle of Samuel Smith India Ale.

I love the smell and the taste of this smooth brew. This is a beer with a restrained maltiness. The aroma and flavor stem from hops...
