Emerald Hill Pale Ale (10/20)
This crowd is bit all over the shop with some beers looking quite decent yet others look faulty. This one is somewhere in the middle. Nice attractive glowing orange, thin head and thick lacing. Nose is sweet early but is soon balanced out with citrus and pine notes, and a funky edge I can’t quite place. Tough to get a clear read on the flavours; resiny hops is the most obvious, with a bitter finish. Strange liquered notes in the back palate, not entirely pleasant.
Red Hill Golden Ale (14/20)
Very clean tasting and competently made beer. Orange / lemon in colour; ever so slightly cloudy. Big licks of citrus and sour spices on the nose - good definition. Backs up vry well to taste with more citrus, mild sour notes and a growing bitterness on the back palate. Unremarkable at first but very complete and balanced.
Buffalo Lager (14/20)
What a surprise packet! Masses of spice and citrus acorss the nose and palate; far more Belgian wit in style the the generic ’lager’ label gives credit for. Quality orange rinf, spice and ginger as well. Flavours finish a touch hard but this beer is quite good. Maybe they screwed up the labeling?
