#78 - Sainsbury's Taste the Difference - American Pale Ale - 5.3%

I would say I was disappointed with this beer, but that implies I had expected it to be better.  There is nothing particularly poor about it, indeed, if I found this at a regional airport, I could happily consume a couple.  Equally though, there is little to be said in its favor.  It tastes of citrus and malt, an uneasy combination in many ways, with too little of the former and too much of the latter. It is produced by the Tap Room Brewing Company, based in Rochester, New York, so it is hard to argue its authenticity. That having been said, most American beers have stronger flavors, for better or for worse... A firm 5.5/10 with the understanding that I am in something of a generous mood.
