Mondial de la Bière 2005. Clear golden color with thin white head. Sugary and citrus aroma. Taste of malt, cereal (wheat) and light bitterness. Not bad but could be better. Bière de couleur doré clair, avec un mince collet blanc. Au nez, elle est sucré avec une touche d’agrumes. Au goût, c’est le malt, les céréales (blé) avec une légère amertume. Pas mauvaise mais je m’attendais a plus de Shipyard.

Huge, buttered popcorn aroma with some butterscotch tones. Clear, oily yellow-gold with low, white, fully-diminishing head. Oily, buttery flavour offers some grainy malts and light finishing bitterness. Slick mouthfeel with low carbonation. Sampled at Mondial de la Bière 2005.

Sample, from 12 oz bottle at the Mondial. A big buttery nose emanates from the clear light gold head-free body...diacetyl-lovers, this is for you!...somewhat crisp, lightly bitter body contains elements of sweetness, hints of lime acidity...watery, overcarbonated, sodapop (7UP or Sprite perhaps though it’s almost as bland as tonic water) finish. Another winner from this star of Maine.

A solid copper color with a thick white head that it holds for some time. A sweet smell, with a slight hint of citrus. Smooth, but much more of an pale ale than a wheat. A simple beer, but one that is pulled together well, and finishes smoothly with a slight hint of lemon.

Golden yellow. Malty nose and taste with only a slight wheat tang. Slight hops. Overall, pretty unwheatlike. Drinakable, but nothing special.

I’m enjoying General Cleburne in a bottle, I bet he would be happy to know 135 years later he commemorated as a beer. Nice copper body with a frothy white head. A sweet malty aroma, notes of peach and honey, a nice lemon or sour orange zestyness in the finish. Good use of hops in this simplistic but refreshing brew, one of the better American wheat.

This is a nice light tasting brew. Good dark golden color with a nice haed that lasts for a little while. The taste is more like a pale ale than a wheat. Overall a good hop flavor. Comes in a 12 pack box and each bottles label has a different genral from the Civil War.
