darkguardian (207), Florida, USA Apr 6, 2008 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.
beerbill (1396), Laurel, New York, USA Nov 20, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Is this ale brewed with lobster? Actually, that might have been a better alternative to the beer I drank. Pours a clear reddish amber with a moderate linen white head that lasted until mid-glass and left a thin layer of lace with each sip. Mild aroma of malt and a few whiffs of excessively sweet fruit. The flavor is strong malt along with a bit of overly sweet fruit and an odd hoppy flavor that I can best describe as chewing tobacco juice. This just overwhelms the beer and I frankly only drank about half of the glass. Other than their winter ale, I have not had anything from Shipyard that was all that good, and this beer certainly kept that opinion well intact. pumpmaster (309), Florida, USA Oct 17, 2008 12 ounce bottle purchased at Total Wine Pembroke Pines, FL for $1.49 Very ggod. thewolf (4153), Kolding, Denmark Oct 11, 2008 Bottle. <b>[thanks, asheft]</b><br />
Pours golden-brown with a nice, frothy, yellowish head. Aroma is lightlt sweet, some caramel and light hoppiness. Fine, lightish mouthfeel. Flavour has small notes of cardboard, good dry Cascade hoppiness and some caramel in the background. Okay. BelgianBeerGal (1035), Sabbatical in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Sep 25, 2008 Draught at Thurston’s lobster pound in Bernard, ME. Really surprised me as this was a great amber ale. Very well balanced with malt and just enough bitterness from the hops. Give it a try if possible. rds (133), USA Sep 24, 2008 Updated: Sep 26, 2008It’s really a clear amber brew with a thin tan head, bit of molasses and mild hoppiness, and a quick finish. I had hoped for more fruitiness here.
