Shipyard Chamberlain Pale Ale

Bottle. A clear amber color with a foamy tan head. A malty aroma with a mild floral and fruit hop element. A rather dry and musty. The flavor has caramel and earthy malts. Smooth and clean but without much character.

Sweet aroma of malt, caramel. Taste is malty, caramel and a slight amount of hops.

This Pale Ale pours a golden amber color from a 22 oz bottle. Medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is caramel, fruity and sweet. A medium to light bodied Pale Ale. An English style pale ale, Malts are caramel and sweet. Hops are grapefruity and piney. A touch earthy and there is a lingering bitterness. Nice solid malts. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is crisp and clean. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Very nice, clean pale ale. Pours clear copper with the advertised white head. Some hops and a sour yeast up front, with smoother malt sweetness at the end. Far superior to Sierra Nevada.

Deep gold color with a small white head. Yeasty esters and sweet malt aromatics. Caramel and 2 row maltiness in the flavor, with some butteriness in the finish. Mouthfeel is light medium.

I always feel a sense of relief after opening and pouring a craftbrewers Pale Ale and am rewarded with a nice medium brown gold color instead of a thin yellow fizzy. Jimmy Carter be praised. Sour yeast and malt aroma and a tight smallish head. Yeasty malt flavor is immediately cut by the hops and a steady carbonation works to keep things light and dry. Nice rendition of the style and a surprisingly good offering from Shipyard.

Rerate Aroma a little bit off, slightly lemony and sour, overall still decent though Original 3.7 Big C’s Liquors, Winter Park, Fl. 22 oz bomber. Pours a medium copper with a thin, but fluffy white head. Fresh, clean, slightly minty aroma with some underlying hints of fruit - nectarines perhaps. Good subtle bitter flavor, subtle citrus hoppiness. Some peppermint as well. Solid malty backbone - touch of maple syrup. Very solid pale ale. Would make a good session ale. Thick creamy mouthfeel. Best of the Shipyards thus far.

Amber-gold color with a thin, whispy head. Attractive caramel, malty, woody aroma. Mouthfeel is a bit lean but sweet flavors of caramel, toffee, spice and nuts are well appreciated. Finishes off with a long, restrained hoppy bitterness. A well done Brit-style Pale Ale.
