In 1982, the John Smith's brands included Yorkshire Bitter, Magnet Pale Ale, Export Pale, Sweet Stout, Double Brown and Magnet Old. Immediate impression on drinking this was how light it was, definitely wasn’t as strong as I had remembered it. Drop some thoughts on the beer's attributes (look, smell, taste, feel) plus your overall impression. John Smith's Extra Smooth is a legend in the beer world, John Smith's is a classic, clean Yorkshire bitter, with a distinct smooth and creamy texture.This was followed by the "Big John" campaign, which ran in the North of England from 1981, and centred around a re-writing of the Big Bad John country music staple. Overall : This was from a can , i've had it on tap once before and it was much much better - far more flavour. As of 2012, John Smith's is the sixth highest selling beer brand in the United Kingdom and the highest selling bitter in the world. The prosperity of the 1850s and 1860s, together with the arrival of the railways, realised greater opportunities for brewers, and John Smith employed eight men in his brewing and malting enterprise by 1861.

John Smith's closed down all the breweries it acquired, apart from Barnsley, where it invested in the brewery, and added production of John Smith beers to the site, as well as increasing the distribution of Barnsley Bitter. After successful test marketing from 1974, John Smith's Bitter was distributed in the South of England from 1979 onwards, accompanied by an extensive marketing budget. It's still brewed at the John Smith's Brewery in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, where it enjoys over 250 years of brewing heritage.

Having bought his own brewery in the Tadcaster, John set to experimenting and refining the process until he finally arrived at his greatest and most enduring achievement: John Smith's beer.

The taste that is there is pleasant , some bitterness there , not as sweet as it smells , but still a little caramel on the aftertaste. 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. But having had it from the tap, this is much weaker in the can in terms of not much in the taste, not much flavour, boring and all a bit plain. Despite the success of the Kay campaign, the perceived " laddishness" of the advertisements were criticised by rival brewer Interbrew as hindering sales of beer among women.

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. This has continued to modern day, with a huge choice of styles from brewers all over the country found across our beer range. The boffins say it has a distinct cereal character, with malty, caramel notes being complemented by some fruitiness. The timing was to prove fortuitous; pale ales were displacing porter as the beer of choice, and Tadcaster's hard water proved to be well-suited for brewing the new style.
