Belfast Bay Lobster Ale

Brewed by Shipyard Brewing Company
Style: Amber Ale
Portland, Maine USA

Bottled. I never knew there was a market for a beer that smelled/tasted like....uh..lobster, but I guess there is. I swear to god my bottle tasted exactly like lobster. Oh yeah it was a rather boring ale after that..

Bottle. Pours red amber with an off white head. Aroma has a bit of a butterscotch character, with some light earthy notes. The flavor has sweet toffee, butterscotch, and bread. It seems a bit off, but it’s still drinkable.

Pours a dull clear reddish amber with a super large soda bubbles and a medium soda fizzy beige head. Metallic aroma, some hops, some sweet caramel, smells thin. Tasty beer for being so light and drinkable. Corse mouthful with larger soda bubbles. Flavor has a nice bitterness, lightly bready, touch of bold spices, rich toasted caramel malt. Drinkable thats for sure.

Bottle. Sweet earthy aroma. Reddish amber body, small head. Flavor is light sweet, malt and caramel. Pleasant finish.

[bottle - 12 oz] Reddish amber color with a puffy white head. Aroma is mild with some hints of malt, apples, and some dry hops. Flavor is slightly sweet at the beginning with good hints of apple and pear that leave the palate quickly and go to a rather peppery and bitter hop middle with a light hint of malt, and an oddly sweet finish. Aftertaste is dry with an odd plastic taste. Not real sure about this.

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.

12 ounce bottle purchased at Total Wine Pembroke Pines, FL for $1.49 Very ggod.

Bottle. [thanks, asheft]
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.
