Commercial Description:
The Shipyard Ale is a non-traditional, full bodied American Red Ale. The warm coppery orange color, combined with distinctive wheat malt flavors and hoppy characteristics, are sure to please most anyone. Winter Ale is made up of 5 different malts and 5 different hops, creating a complex flavor.
This is also Shipyard Nitro which can be found during the winter months at Federal Jacks Brew Pub

Wasnt expecting what I got. Got this on draft at Oldsmar Tap House and expected a dark stout, but instead I was pleasantly supprised to get a fruit ale. Quite delicious paired with cheese and crackers

Amber in color with malty aroma and taste. Also, slightly spicy but goes down smooth. It was actually called "nitro" and was on tap. Quite nice and will drink again.

Pours a dark cloudy amber color, head is fairly small, off white and creamy. Smooth lightly roasted malts with a hint of spice. melony fruit on the nose, sweet with a hint of pumpkin.

Amber, copper in color...light head. Malt and wet grain aroma. Some significant spice, cantelope, herbs, hops, perhaps some band aid notes.

This is listed as a Wheat beer? Hmmm.. could have fooled me. Amber in color topped with a medium head and a little bit of lace. Better balanced than the other two Shipyards I’ve had to date. Fairly flavorful and relatively smooth. Caramel malty taste with a small bitter note at the end, and a good amount of spice to it to make it good for the Winter season. Nothing too outstanding, but not bad either.
