A "pale ale" brewed in Kilkenny, Ireland, and owned and distributed by guinness, Smithwicks is distinctly Red in colour. It is the standard drink poured in Irish pubs when a beer is asked for, but it is certainly an ale.
It lacks the smoothness of it's parent Guinness, but has great depth of flavour and is consistent in it's pour. It is pulled from a chilled keg, unlike British ales.

A consistantly outstanding ale. Great with Guiness as a Half n Half. Great choice for St Patty's Day if u can't handle a Guiness
