this makes for a nice session beer with your friends or with a nice meal, sweet malts and low-medium hop build. Its a decent beer to hang around with.

The aroma is yeasty with grassy hops and grainy malt. The appearance is amber with a decent head. The flavor is like the aroma and not special. The palate is thin. Overall it’s alright.

Pours copper brown w/ nice head and decent retention. Vanilla, caramel with figgy dried fruits come to mind. Chewy sugary body with rounded features. Distant hoppy lightly bittering echoes in the back.

Thin head, good lacking, light chestnut brown. Earthy aroma, a but musty, some alcohol bitterness breaking through, medium body.

Pours a slightly murky dark amber bordering on brown and sports at smallish tan quickly receding head. Aroma is displays an English style malt and light fruity hops. More like an English bitter than an Amber as described. Aftertaste is long and lightly fruity. Strong toffee notes creep in mid-glass. Well balanced and an easy drinking session ale.

Bottle. Pours a nice deep reddish amber like a well cooked lobster. Aroma is sweet and doughy with a touch of cherries(?). Taste is a bit odd, some maltiness with a fruity bite.

Pours a crystal clear reddish-copper. A foamy, off-white head leaves tiny rings and random spots on the glass. Notes of glazed biscuit, toasted caramel malts, and mild floral hops comprise the nose. Flavors are basically the same, with perhaps a touch of spice to accompany the floral hop component. There’s also a doughy yeast element in there. The palate is on the lighter side of medium bodied, smooth and creamy, but finishing dry and slightly astringent. Certainly nothing to write home about, which is typical of Shipyard.

12oz bottle. Pours a lovely brownish red with a small whitish head. Aroma of biscuit and hops with a hint of caramel. Taste of caramel and some floral hops. Clean taste with a lingering breadiness. Not bad but it’s pretty basic. Good session amber.
