Beer of the Week: John Smith's Original

Beer score: 7.3

Company: Tadcaster Brewery
ABV: 3.6
IBU: NA

Bitters aren't usually one of my preferred styles of beer, but this one might be the best of the lot. Without a doubt the best beer I've had from a can (though of course I poured it into a glass while tasting).

Pours an amber brown and leaves behind a nice, foamy head with lots of lacing. Very earthy and caramel in the smell.

Very smooth and somewhat frothy with a pretty strong bitter flavor that isn't overpowering. I've heard complaints about this beer being too carbonated, but I've never felt that with this one.

A lovely brew. Even if you're not a fan of bitters, this one is at least worth trying.
