Could I taste the organic-ness? <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I was expecting something more carbonated, like some Lambics I\u2019ve had. This was almost flat and a little syrupy. Like someone dropped in a depth charge of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.heering.com\/\">Cherry Heering<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As for the taste, <strong>Samuel Smith&#8217;s Organic Cherry Ale<\/strong> was a vibrant mix of sweet and sour cherries. Juicy cherries. Like when you were a kid and you\u2019d fill your mouth with wild cherry Lifesavers and suck on \u2018em till they just liquefy. Very cherry-y.<\/p>\n<p>But did it taste organic-y? The juicy explosion sure tasted like fresh, quality fruit; despite my artificially-flavored point of reference. Plus, it finished with a hint of leather and sweet tobacco. Like, pesticide-free tobacco. So points there. But really, no way to tell.<\/p>\n<p>Samuel Smith makes two other organic ales, raspberry and strawberry. All three are brewed and fermented in Stamford. Then blended\/conditioned at Samuel Smith\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tadcaster.uk.com\/breweriesSamuelSmith.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Old Brewery in Tadcaster<\/a>. You can find \u2018em at Whole Foods and your fav liquor stores I\u2019m sure.<\/p>\n<p>Not highly recommended. But all beer\u2019s worth trying once.\u00a0<br \/>\n<strong><em>Drink up with the Umlaut<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My first organic beer.
