| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 11, 2008 Bottle. Lilting citrus and lemongrass aroma, some grape, peach, and caramel with nice, premium-smelling ESB yeast. Clear orange body with a soapy beige head, smoothish mf with a medium-full body. Taste is a little sweeter than I’d like, bready caramel with a lightly crisp airy sort of feel. Dries out nicely and has a new shot of yeast in the aftertaste. Nice slightly chalky feel/note. Fruitiness is a bit unbalanced, but it’s still a nice little match to food.... Probably the best I’ve had from Shipyard, a slight nudge above the stout I had some time ago. scrizzz (1278), kirkland, Washington, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 27, 2007 12oz bottle. Pours a clearish amber . 1/2" thick off-white head. Smells of malt, with hints of sweet citrus. Taste lots of malt. There’s a little woodiness to it and a fruity sweetness on the finish, peaches maybe. It’s got some body to it. Not too thick not too thin. Good carbonation. It’s an alright brew, not my favorite by a looong shot by definitely drinkable. Goblincat (357), Westland, Michigan, USA

to balance. The finish is malt with a metalic character.
