Buckeye Sasquatch Pale Ale

Brewed by Buckeye Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Lakewood, Ohio USA

a dark orangish color w/ a large fluffy off white head and ok lacing some haziness to the pour. Nice well hopped aroma pine and grapefruit and a hint of grahm crackers & carmel. Well carbonated lightly oily well coated palate w/ a smooth finish. Flavor is definatelly a piney bitter a very dry resony finish w/ a fair amount of malt in there. Well done but overdone on the pine notes to me.

Bomber. Poured clear medium orange with a very tall cap of medium-thick beige head. Nose was primarily hoppy with a bunch of pine and mellower citrus (grapefruit)... with some sweet caramel and biscuity malts beneath. Medium-high pine and lemony bitterness in the flavor with just the right sweet caramel backing... I caught an odd flavor of sparkly orange soda in there (not bad). Soft and smooth base and a medium level of bitterness on the palate. Very nice.

Clear deep poured from a 22 oz. bomber, nicely developed off white head with good lace, settling to a shallow layer fo fine bubbles and a thin halo. Hoppy aroma of citrus and pine, as well as some lighter fruity notes. Medium body, slightly resinous, very light carbonation all add up to quite a nice mouthfeel. Bitterness dominates the flavor over a background of some caramel. There’s some peppery spice as a long, dry, bitter, astringent finsih sets in. This pale ale pushes the limits of the style, and if I had tasted it blind, I would have thought it was an IPA. That’s OK with me, I really enjoyed it.

Lots of hops but plenty of malt to back it up. Fragrant and well balanced. Good beer.

I don’t often find much enjoyment in pale ales but this was an exception. Clear copper with a creamy white head. Aroma of grapefruit, caramel, biscuits. Medium body and smooth feel. Nice blend of sweetness and bitterness in the flavor. A very good beer, especially for a pale ale.

Bottle: Copper colored pour, with a loose foamy off white head. Aroma is citrusy, with some nice malts in the background. Flavor, a good bit of citrus up front that gives way to carmelly finish. Some moderate bitterness on the finish as well. This is pretty good pale ale. Good session beer for sure.

light copper color with medium sized creamy head that lasts forever. Aroma has moderate amount of citrusy hops, fairly malty, lots of caramel. Flavor has chewy malts, fair amount of citrusy hops, moderate caramel, with a decently bitter finish. A nice pale, although a bit darker and maltier than I like my pale ales.

Had a bottle of this over a week ago. Nose of spice, spruce, resin, and brown sugar. Pours a clear copper. The tall wispy head is white, mostly lasting, with great lacing. The brew has a balanced start that quickly moves deep into the hops spectrum. Almost no acidity. The finish is soft, toasty, and bitter. The full body is soft and dry. Highly recommended.
