1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottled
Pale yellow, small white head. Sugary, almost butterscoth - diacetyl aroma, slightly lemony. Light, carbonated palate, toffee flavors. Notes of soda in the finish. Light-weight also qualitywise. Very overrated here.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Head poured up nice, but receded almost instantly. Faintly sweet seltzery aroma. Taste is restricted to a mild sweetness that rides atop the moderate carbonation. A Little bubbly bite to it, but not unpleasant. I could definitely see drinking a few on a hot day. It IS refreshing (I popped it in the freezer for a minute because ice cold it is the only way I can get an ice beer down) when cold. Just not much else besides refreshing. The low alcohol is nice though. At 3.2% it is practically N/A for most beer geeks.
1.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 4/20
(Bottled) Paleish golden color with an instantly disappearing head. Mild, grainy aroma with rice and mushroom hints. Quite sour and chemical, canned mushroom flavor with cardboard hints. No hops that I’d recognize. Light-bodied, carbonated palate. A quite awful, chemical and artificial brew. I’d rather have the calories.

Pretty much a bud light. It’s nearly clear, all watery tasting, and the tiny white bubbles you get in a bud light. There’s really no redeeming quality of this beer either since the low alcohol content wont even get you drunk.
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
(bottle) If only I’d known that not just one of these but three would be found in the Shipyard ’Captains Collection’, I would have left the Captain for someone with weaker tastes. Pours almost clear, takes on a light straw color in glass. Tiny white fizzy head bubbles itself into oblivion in a matter of seconds. Smell barely elicits a response in nose, bearing a hint of stale bread. Body is light on the palate, and only slightly less watery than expected. Slight flavor of sourdough leaves my tongue bored and repulsed. I guess I just don’t understand the point of light beer.
1.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
12 oz bottle. Ridiculous massive white frothy head...golden quite bubbly body, looks force-carbonated...meek grainy nose offers little...flavor of light honey, lackluser sodden cereals, somewhat stale.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle: pours yellow with a small white diminishing head. Light aroma of apples and grapes. Flavor is crisp and quite dry. Small fruitiness. Good for what it is. Low carb and low calorie and a good alternative to BMC lights.
1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
UPDATED: APR 11, 2005 Very thin, failry bland. It tastes like it’s missing something, like flavor. No wonder I can buy it for 50 cents a bottle and I got a free tshirt that says Shipyard Light too, anyone want a free tshirt? Probabally the worst beer I’ve ever had.
