Sweet Action poured a cloudy dark amber color with a thumb width, off white head. The aroma is inviting, with a little malt, yeast and some slightly spicy hops.  The body is smooth with low carbonation, and a nice malt base giving it a creamy mouthfeel.  There is some orange up front with some sweetness that works well with a light bitterness throughout. The finish is almost perfect.  The sweetness dies out and a perfect amount of dryness takes over.  Overall, a very interesting, very good beer. Drinking like a bigger, sweeter ESB, Sweet Action has great balance and is one of my favorites for this style.

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
