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.

Bottle - courtesy of matta! Clear amber body with a rigid tan head. It seems "glued" to the beer and is leaving no lace as I swirl it around the glass. Aroma is slightly nutty and malty with light caramel notes and spicy hops. Taste leans heavily on the hops and backed up with lighter caramel, some earthy notes, dried nuts, and toasty malts. Body is medium and mildly carbonated. Pleasant feel on the palate. Finishes with spicy hops, light sweet maltiness, caramel, and dried nuts. Not bad at all!

Pours a clear copper color with a medium white head. Aroma is weak with hints of malt and caramel. Light - Medium body, with malt and caramel flavorings, and a tinge of hops in the finish.

This pours a dark amber/gold with a medium-sized, off white head. The nose is primarily woody. The initial taste is slightly nutty and sweet with hints of caramel and perhaps bubblegum. The middle is, perhaps, a bit yeasty but it retains some sweetness. The bitterness in the trail is medium and the sweetness is light. The mouthfeel is rather thin.

Coppr brown, small off-white head. Nose has fruity hops and also yeasty notes. Mildly hoppy, medium-bodied. A bit sweet, English-type session ale.
