Smithwick's Ale

• SCORE: 4.20	REVIEWED BY: Lakeffect
• RATINGS: Appearance [3], Nose [4], Taste [5], Mouth [4], Drinkability [5]
• COMMENTS: Rolls down easy and leaves a nougat aftertaste going down, like a candy bar when one is starving. Just enough foam and a little catch in the throat to make it seem like one of those snobbish craft beers with a name too long, but much better tasting.
