Beer Review: AleSmith IPA (USA)

Hello everyone. It's time for another beer review. Today I'll be reviewing the AleSmith IPA, a nice Indian Pale Ale from San Diego.

Looks: Hazy amber with a nice big frothy white head that stays quite a while.
Smells: Caramel, pine, spice, grapefruit.
Tastes: Caramel malt, grapefruit, spice. Slightly bitter with a nice warm finish, leaving a slight citrus flavor after.

Looks: 4.5/5 - Gorgeous. The head stays big and frothy for so long it's just great.
Smells: 3.5/5 - Nothing really particularly distinguishing in the aroma, found it a bit too intense on the citrus for my nose.
Tastes: 8.5/10 - Very good drink. I can see why it has a good reputation out there.
Overall: 16.5/20 - Definitely one of the better IPAs out there. Very smooth and probably one of the better US beers that I've had a chance to sample.

    I know this is a beer review page, but the other day you reviewed a whisky, do you think you'll ever review any other spirits?

    I think my favourite IPA is the Big Blue Double IPA from Buckerfield's, one of my local breweries.
