Smithwick's Pale Ale - Amarillo Hops?
Posted by Uncle Jimbo on 2011-10-23 07:27:36
An 100% Amarillo hops pale ale from the UK? That is quite shocking given the unusual and, to some, unpleasant flavor of Amarillo hops in large doses. It makes me wonder whether Amarillo was the only hop variety used, and if so, how hoppy this beer is really? Or perhaps their target audience is in the US? Smithwick's still has a pretty loyal following in "Irish Pubs" in the US.
