sweet!!! I am going to have to try it
 
I had a Smithwick's Irish Ale last weekend. Pleasant beer that seems like you could drink it all night. Nice malt tones IMO.
 
Oh, and in case any of you actually go to Ireland and don't want to have them look at you funny...

It's pronounced Smith-icks. They don't pronounce the 'W'.
I got corrected at one pub after a week of pronouncing it wrong.

Tanks! I tink I'll try tree of em when I get there on Monday. Normally I like Guinness when I'm over there, but I'll have a few of Smith iks just for grins.

There is an Irish Pub in the Pittsburgh Airport that serves Smith icks on tap. It's great to have a few before the flight and then sleep like a baby all the way home.
