    Pretty self-explanatory. They have one cider, plus ales made with strawberry, raspberry, cherry, or apricot. Which one is your favorite?

    Raspberry is a good one - even if it's old and been sitting on the same shelf for ever still has that big raspberry tart flavor - never fails ... Very easy to find as well ! The taddy porter is the only Samuel smith I buy regularly -

    I've had and enjoyed on several occasions the Apricot. A fine fruit beer, I definitely recommend it. I am interested in the feedback regarding the others.

    I find the Apricot too sweet. Raspberry is pretty good on a hot day IMO.

    All of them, that brewery does no wrong in my eyes. Strawberry gets the most rotation out of me though.

    I like sweet beers. I also dig sours, so I'll keep an eye our for the Raspberry.

    Apricot, it has an amazing nose and is magically delicious. If that same beer was made by New Glarus it would have a 4.4 rating.

    Funny that brewery can't do anything right IMHO. Not going to shill out for Utopias although I'm sure that would change my mind.

    Does Organic Chocolate count as fruit?

    That's an entirely different brewery you're thinking of friend.

    SS Raspberry is most like a sour IMO. I really wanted to like the Apricot, but it got way too sweet. Dry Dock Apricot Blonde is far more balanced. I still find myself cutting the Dry Dock Apricot with a little Upslope Craft Lager. 1 12oz can of Apricot Blonde & 4 oz of Craft Lager pretty amazing on a Hot Colorado Day. Yeah Buddy...

    Samuel Smith Brewery around since 1758, from the UK, Not Sam Adams.
