This is a very good IPA. Taste, aroma, appearance is just what I hope for in a top-tier IPA. — 8 years ago

Double IPA, the summer edition of former YuleSmith seasonals. The flavor imparts orange, grapefruit, and tangerine hop notes with earthy, spicy, and resinous pine undertones. A sturdy malt backbone balances out the profound hop bitterness to create a refreshingly assertive and vibrant beer that offers an unapologetically bold expression of fresh American hops. — 10 years ago

Fantastic beer. I slept on Alesmith for too long. Incredible combo of hops and chocolatey depth. Straight chocolate cake on the finish. — 11 years ago
This is actually a beer but it is very unique and hard to describe. I was told it was "better" then the crazy mountain brand of Barley Wine I wanted to try by a snooty liquor store employee who was at least 10 years younger then me😒🙃 — 8 years ago
Perfect example of a ESB, toasted caramel malts, off set by fruity earthly hops, Very good — 10 years ago
Nice balance between the bitterness of the hops and the rich, full-bodied maltiness, which brings in a very subtle almost sweet quality. Not sure why this is a winter seasonal, but it's an excellent red IPA. — 10 years ago

Once only a draft release, now it bottles, hands down one of the best brown ales in the world, perfect in the style, roasted, toasted malts, nutty and very smooth, not over sweet, coffee and chocolate notes, but in the style, so not like a porter, easy drinking, very easy to session, if you are fan of this style, like New Castle, this is far superior — 10 years ago

2013. Buckwheat, dates, dried cherries and almonds rolled in nutmeg. Rusty...literally, rust on the crown cap. #alesmith #craftbeer #bourbonbarrelaged #barleywine — 11 years ago
