| Brewer's Description: | The brewery at St. Francis Abbey in Kilkenny, Ireland has been in operation since 1710. Smithwick's is Ireland's oldest ber, inspired by John Smithwick's original recipe. This beer delivers a distinctive amber color, full bodied taste and ultra-smooth finish. |
| Appearance: | Dark amber/brown color, somewhat similar to a Shiner Bock. Poured a nice head and retained it for a few minutes. One visible bubble trail. |
| Aroma: | Smells good, but I couldn't pick out anything specific. |
| Taste: | Good balance, with not too much bitterness or sweetness. I can taste the malt more than the hops. |
| Mouth Feel: | Smooth feel with just enough carbonation for my liking. |
| Drinkability: | Smithwick's is a very drinkable beer. I'll definitely get some more of this one. |
| Score: | 7 / 10 |
