John Smiths Extra Smooth Can Beer, 24 x 440 ml

Product Information

Immediate impression on drinking this was how light it was, definitely wasn’t as strong as I had remembered it. During and for some time after the World Wars, the Government raised the duty on beer, and forced brewers to lower their beer strength. Following a series of acquisitions in the post- World War II period, the company became one of the largest regional brewers in the country, operating over 1,800 licensed premises. William Smith died in 1886, and the firm was inherited in partnership by his two nephews, Henry Herbert Riley (1863 - 1911) and Frank Riley, henceforth known as Riley-Smith under the terms of his will. Might be a little more adventurous in the general tastes and flavours, nothing really standouts but overall it was fulsome, well balanced in the tastes and I liked it, in terms of drinkability and how smooth it is to drink.

By the turn of the century the brewery was considered to be one of the best-run in Britain, "a byword for first-class management". The campaign won a large number of advertising industry awards, and was featured on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. The Dee campaign was widely credited with helping John Smith's rise from sixteenth to fourth highest selling beer in the UK as sales increased by 65 per cent, and the brand overtook Tetley's as the highest selling ale brand in the world by 1995. By this time John Smith's owned around 1,800 licensed premises throughout the north of England, and as far south as Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and parts of Cambridgeshire and Shropshire.

In 2010 Heineken discontinued production of cask conditioned John Smith's Magnet, although it remains available in kegs. Drop some thoughts on the beer's attributes (look, smell, taste, feel) plus your overall impression.
