Light red in color. Slightly small head that lingers the entire beer. Smells pretty good with a fruity smell. The fruitiness and other tastes in the beer are all well matched but I did not enjoy the ending. A decent amber none the less.

Bottle; poured an auburn/amber color with medium, thick head. Aroma was malty; with caramel, toffee, must, fruit and toasted malt. Flavor was ok; some decent bitterness. Palate seemed astringent. Ok overall.

Thanks to Ian for the bottle. Pours a nice amber red with a thick white head. Slightly malty aroma. Taste is smooth and malty with a touch of hops.

Bottle dated Aug 08. No mention of Shipyard. Clear amber, big head. Aroma hints at sweet malt and faint citrus hops. This is pretty much it. Hops are subtle and dry at the finish. I got the tangy edge that others did, but not so much the diacetyl. Body is a bit light and fizzy; for summer, really.

Bottle… Clear amber ale with a small, creamy, white head. Decent retention. Toffee, caramel and honey nose with lesser notes of unidentified fruit. Barely medium-bodied with fizzy carbonation. Leans on the bitter side of balance while providing restrained flavors of toffee and fruit. A touch bland. Short, crisp finish.

Bottle. Amber color, creamy offwhite head. Malty aroma, caramel notes. Malty flavor as well, a bit onedimensional. Weak hoppy finish.

Pours a brownish amber with a minimal crème head. Nose is like the candy part of a red candy apple. Flavor is a bit too tangy. Lacks balance and maturity. Feel is decent. It is drinkable, sure. But this lack of balance and screaming tangy edge just kills it for me.

Draft at Ski Bar. Amber color but the head sucks. In fact the whole beer stinks.
