very nice brown ale, malty, yet full-bodied, not too heavy, goes down smooth and easy with a nice mellow aftertaste

One of the harder Shipyard brews to find. I may dispute the description as a Classic English-style brown ale; this seems to be the hoppier American Brown Ale style. A solid yet light-bodied malt base and sweetness is quickly balanced by a subtle hop presence which lingers into the finish.

12 oz. bottle, Best Enjoyed Before 9/05. Purchased by a friend as part of the World Market "Beers Of America" 10-pack for my 30th birthday...Pours a semi sparkling light ruby/brown with an averaged sized creamy off-white head that lasted a good while...Heavy caramel and molasses malts with light perfume hops. Has a definite buttery taste too...Full bodied and creamy with soft carbonation and a nutty finish...Very sweet chocolate with a slightly bitter butterscotch flavor coming through near the end...Overall, a great session ale. Reminds me of liquid chocolate waffles with topped with smooth maple syrup. Very nice finish, very nice beer...

from 12 oz. bottle, smells of maple syrup first and then the malts. pours brown, pretty dark, thin white head gone within a minute. the flavor comes across as mostly maple syrup to me, and some caramel. I like this brown ale over many others, good stuff!

A decent brown ale with a nice, sweet flavor of maple syrup. Mouthfeel is slightly watery which takes away some of it's appeal. A good "lighter" brown ale for your BudMillCoors buddies.

(draft, Eliot) Crystal clear light copper body topped by fluffy beige head with nice lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, toasted caramel, chocolate, light roast. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, some toffee, chocolate, light earthy. Light-medium body, light acidity.

Nice brown color, little head. Sweet malt in the nose, very drinkable, nice selection of malt, rosted nuts and a little bit of coffee.
