UPDATED: JUN 12, 2022 Very drinkable with a predominant flavour of banana and light bitterness. Minimal aroma, good stringing and dark red/deep Amber colour. Far from exciting but good enough.

UPDATED: JUL 31, 2021 Tap in Kennebunk. Pours dull orange gold. Big malt smells upfront. Tastes of bitter hops throughout good soapy mouthfeel. Nice

UPDATED: SEP 10, 2020 Sweet aroma, perhaps ripe banana. Sweet and fruit flavour with gentle bitterness.

UPDATED: MAR 8, 2019 Forgot to review this a year or two ago while sampling a 'Captian's Collection'. Was actually one of my favorites from them, along with the Blue-Fin Stout. A good representation of an ESB. Has that English feel to it. Recently tried the Double Old Thumper at a beer tasting party, which was nice as well.

UPDATED: JAN 19, 2019 Pours a clear golden with a nice white head, lots of carbonation apparent. Aroma of bitter herbs, malt. Taste is excellent, notes of oak, lemongrass and herbal additives. Palate is much of the same, soft mouthfeel with definite grassy notes on the back of the tongue.

Draught @ Shipyard Tavern. Clear copper red with small foamy beige head, faint caramel aroma, medium carbonation, lightly sweet caramel taste with medium bitterness, medium bitter finish. Nicely balanced ESB.

12 oz bottle shared by a friend, thanks Tyler! Shipyard brewed version. Mostly clear golden orange with off-white head. Aromas of bready notes, grains. Tastes of grains, malt, bready notes. Medium body with a dry finish.

On tap at the brewery. Pours copper with fluffy white head. Aroma is of caramel malt and red berries. Body is medium and smooth. Earthy hops, honey, caramel malt and red fruit fill the mouth. Finish is long and semi-dry. Average brew.
