Draft in Kittery, ME. Pours a clear amber brown color with a small off white head. Nose is lightly nutty with a light brown sugar and syrup note. Palate is thin and a little creamy. Flavor is light butter and some syrupy sugar notes.

Amber pour with a fizzy offwhite head. Aroma is very toasted malt and bitter hops. Flavor is Toffee, more toasted malt, some light fruitiness and bitter hops at the finish which impart some nice dryness to the ale. Much nicer as it warms, very mild and drinkable.

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle with an August ’10 expiration date. It pours copper with ruby highlights and a hefty, frothy off-white head. Strong fruity and malt aroma. Creamy texture on the tongue. The taste is of sweet malts with a nice American hops follow up. It ended on the dry side.

On tap ain Long ISland. Great amber ale. Nice malty taste. Nicely carbonated. Great amount of hops to add a slightly bitter finish.

Brown to copper in color with a fluffy khaki colored head. Caramel and stewed fruit mix with earthy herbal hops. Toasted wheat bread flavors in the front. Middle has a a touch of butterscotch that leads to a sourdough taste. Herbal hops take away any sweetness and adds acidity into the finish. Some toasted dry grains and generic bitterness in the linger.

Dark red-amber with fair, creamy tan head / Simple, sweet. some rancid-sour malt nose / Light body, somewhat sweet, malty with fair hoppy finish / Sweet flavors of sour malt, cooked fruit, toasted grain and burnt sugar / Another mediocre Shipyard brew. Agree with daknole, below. Paired with lobster? Ha ha.

Hmmm who the fuck would drink this with a lobster? Not me. Hell no. dark gold pour. Malty and grainy aroma. Flavor is watery and flat. Nope. Fail.
