Buzzards Bay Golden Ale

Formerly brewed at Just Beer (fka Buzzards Bay Brewing)
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Westport, Massachusetts USA

Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells of pepper, chewable vitamins and cookies. Tastes citrussy with some mild rosey elements. Bitter finish. Pretty tasty for a pale lager.

Pretty typical golden ale. Clear yellow body with a short fizzy head. Malty weak head. Criso, refreshing beer. Light malty taste. Not a bad beer.

The effort my pal went through to get this for me was, for not. This was below eaverage in all aspects. But, it was good to try something new.

Bottle: pours golden yellow with a thick white head. Light hop aroma. Flavor is hoppy, light fruit. Mild bitter finish. Crisp and refreshing. A nice effort from Buzzard’s Bay.

(bottle) Pours a clear watery yellow. Light gold in glass with frothy medium sized head. Smell is fruity, sweet, and like feet. Flavor is sour at first then bitter. Body is light and watery as expected. Probably won’t look for this one again.

12 oz bottle: Pours clear golden w/ a short lived white head. Sweet grainy malt aroma, very slight hint of fruitiness, and no hops. Well balanced aroma. Flavor is basically the same, but I think the bottle is a little aged since it came w/ the same beers as the Olde Buzzard Pale. Not really cardboardy, but not as snappy in the flavor as a golden should be. Mostly clean flavor, but bland & old. Dusty if you will. Light body, medium carbonation, smooth. Nothing exciting, possibly a good lawnmower beer for summertime if fresh.

Clear light gold, frothy head w. decent lacing. Herban nose. Kind of smells like the bean burritos at this place I used to work. Herbal flavor, very easy drinking. Finish is a bit too herbal for me, like a tea that steeped a bit too long.

Very light color. Not much flavor at all, and what is there is really not very good. An almost undrinkable beer. Stay away from this one.
