3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Boring pale ale, after having both the Golden ale and lager, I’m beginning to wonder why Buzzard’s sis still in business.

UPDATED: AUG 1, 2003 Citrusy/malt with a clear, crisp, hoppy finishing head. Yeah, I know that's a bunch of crap. Mediocre beer

Rather unimpressive, pretty basic pale. I can’t agree that this beer is full-bodied, I found it quite light. It is sweet, and light. Nothing too exciting.

Re-Rate 04/12/02: Another of my missing beers? Pours a clear gold, white head and fair lace. Nose is malt, the top thin, the finish is dry and acidic, some hops, but nothing remarkable.
Earlier Rating: 1/7/2002 Total Score: 3.7
Clear and bright dark amber color, generous head and fair lace that is beige in color. Earthy aroma, malty, but also a bit candyish, start is malt sweet, the middle light as is the carbonation, finish is hop bitter and fairly clean.

First off: Do Not drink cold and Do Not assume this an ’American Pale Ale’. This is British to the gilt and should be drank at room temp. Clear light copper with a thin off white head. Aroma of toffee and hay and grassy hops. Crisp and sharp at first but then it mellows and a marvelous toffee/carmel malt backbone shines. A little cloying but a nice English style brew.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Amber orange colour with a solid head. Caramel/biscuit malt aroma, caramel malt flavour, followed by some fruitiness (apple), and a lingering bitter hop finish. Reminds me of Geary’s Pale Ale.

Bold body and presence. A little stark and rough around the edges, but then again, it’s an ESB. Unfortunately, the strong bitter taste seems to overpower the subtle flavors. I mixed one of these with a homebrewed stout and really enjoyed it (turned out similar to a half and half).
