Samuel Smith's: Organically Produced Lager Beer

Samuel Smith's is a British Brewery located in Yorkshire and it's "Organically Produced Lager Beer" is one that I recently gave a try.
Now I have to say right up front that I am not a big lager drinker. I generally find them to be a bit on the light side of my personal scale. But, this was a pretty nice brew. I found it to be lightly fragrant, the flavour was a delicate balance of hops & malt.
The brewery says it is "A full-bodied lager with lots of malt and hop character. A touch hoppier than many lagers yet perfectly balanced." I would have to say it is a bit more hoppy than many lagers....but, "full-bodied" might be a bit of a stretch.

I do like the fact that this is an organic beer! Officially they say that this is a "Lightly kilned organic lager malt grown in the UK is the main ingredient, with a substantial addition of organic UK Vienna malt. Samuel Smith's has begun to source organic hops in England; some of the organic hops used in the recipe come from New Zealand. Certified organic by the USDA-accredited UK Soils Association."

If you enjoy lager style beers, or just want something lighter on a sunny Spring or Summer day, give this one a try!
