Commercial Description:
The classic English style of Chamberlain Pale Ale is enhanced by its golden copper hue and creamy white head. It is dry and crisp with an aromatic hoppy finish. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain: Civil war hero. Medal of honor winner. Maine governor. President of Bowdoin College. The Chamberlain Pale Ale was created by the Shipyard Brewing Company to commemorate the extraodinary life of "the man from Maine."

12 oz bottle. Aroma is hoppy but quite sweet, with honyish notes. Flavor is rather watery with some sweet malts to finish. Not a particularly good beer. A disappointment.

This was a nasty, swilly, dishwatery tasting beer. It has strong flavors of dirt and clay. A little to "rustic" for me. Bottle at Whole Foods Miami Beach.

Bottle, sampled at Tank’s Taproom Spring Beerfest. Pretty decent Pale Ale. It has a maltier aroma and flavor as one would expect from an English Pale Ale. Nice amount of bittnerness in the aftertaste.

Pours a slightly hazy dark orange with minimal soapy white head. Aroma is nice orange citrus hops with slight fruit sweetness. Flavor is a tad watery like most of shipyards stuff, but is definitely tastier. Nice mild sweet base with citrus hop finish that dominates. Best shipyard beer ive had.

(bottle - 12 oz) Clear amber color with a thin off-white head. Aroma is floral and hoppy at the beginning with a very mild citrus followup. Grassy and hoppy at the beginning with a slight sweet malt middle. Floral and citrus at the finish with some bitterness that lingers. Not bad.
