Shipyard Chamberlain Pale Ale

if i could get this beer on the east coast i would buy this one everyday. it is a wonderful beer that is full of flavor and is the best thing since sliced bread and fish chips!!! wonderful addition to the shipyard family

Pours a clear medium amber-gold with a medium light tan head. The aroma conveys lots of crisp, toasted grain aromatices with some herbal and spicy hops notes. The flavor is quite dry with nice grain astringency and English hops flavors of earth and fruit. Body is light and easy-going and conveys its flavors well across the palate and into the finish. Finely structured and interesting study of english grain characteristics with a pleasant hops supplement.

Appearance: Light, clear brown body with a small, fizzy ivory-colored head. Smell: Ringwood aroma with light, buttery notes. Faint caramel. Herbal hop character. Taste: Light caramel maltiness with a hint of butter. The hops impart flavors of citrus and herbs. Mild, lingering bitterness emphasized by the prickly carbonation on the finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Moderate carbonation. Drinkability: Union General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain was a badass. This beer, not so much.

The color is amber with a nice beige head with some lace.. The aroma is sweet and fruity and very light. The taste is hoppy and fruity and just the right amount of bitterness.

Bottle: My favorite out of the Ship Yard standard line. Not enough on the hoppiness for my tastes but a good offering overall. Its beter than sierra nevada.

Bottle. Creamy malt and orange peel aroma with a hint of hops. Medium amber with small head. Slightly sour barley malt flavor with light hops finish. Toasted malt aftertaste. A nice beer but it would really take a 5/5 beer to live up to the legacy of Colonel Chamberlain and his 20th Maine boys.

Smells delicate and floral, some sour hops. Pours a clear bubbly golden amber color with a generous off white head. Taste is crisp, slightly metallic, well balanced hops and malts. A very good pale ale.

Draft (at Geddy’s under the Moosebreath Name). Pours mild brown with dense notes of malt. You also get notes of caramel and toasted grains. The finish is a bit dry with a light amount fo bitterness.
