Notes: Smithwicks is an ale with a carbonation level of 2.4 volumes.
Requires CO2 @ 12 PSIG @ 38F or @ 25 PSIG @ 66F.
AROMA
Low to moderate malt aroma, generally caramel-like but occasionally toasty or toffee-like in nature. May have a light buttery character (although this is not required). Hop aroma is low to none (usually not present). Quite clean.
APPEARANCE
Amber to deep reddish copper color (most examples have a deep reddish hue). Clear. Low off-white to tan colored head.
FLAVOR
Moderate caramel malt flavor and sweetness, occasionally with a buttered toast or toffee-like quality. Finishes with a light taste of roasted grain, which lends a characteristic dryness to the finish. Generally no flavor hops, although some examples may have a light English hop flavor. Medium-low hop bitterness, although light use of roasted grains may increase the perception of bitterness to the medium range. Medium-dry to dry finish. Clean and smooth (lager versions can be very smooth). No esters.
MOUTH FEEL
Medium-light to medium body, although examples containing low levels of diacetyl may have a slightly slick mouthfeel. Moderate carbonation. Smooth. Moderately attenuated (more so than Scottish ales). May have a slight alcohol warmth in stronger versions.
IMPRESSION
An easy-drinking pint. Malt-focused with an initial sweetness and a roasted dryness in the finish.
INGREDIENTS
May contain some adjuncts (corn, rice, or sugar), although excessive adjunct use will harm the character of the beer. Generally has a bit of roasted barley to provide reddish color and dry roasted finish. UK/Irish malts, hops, yeast.

Couldn't lay my hands on any Northern Brewer hops, so this is an English variant on the California Common.
Uses the spiciness and high AA (11.5) of UK Target up front, then UK Challenger, a descendant of Northern Brewer, as an aroma and finishing hop.
Fermented at fairly low temp (17).
Mangrove Jack M54 California lager or M44 West Coast as an alternative.
