Consider a beak (5)

I believe the answer is:

judge

This clue is a double definition.

'consider' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'a beak' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for judge that I've seen before include "Arbitrator" , "Decide a legal case" , "Assess" , "Adjudicator" , "Magistrate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
