Ibrew2or3 (2714), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA Jul 30, 2009 Pours copper with full tan head. The aroma is muted malts mixing with spicy to earthy hops. The taste is malty with a layer of caramel to start before spicy hops and a dash of citrus acidity like bitterness come to the surface. By midway mild earthiness, spicy and floral hops all sort of over running the malts in a mild mannered way. It ends with a slight hop tingle, a mild bit of roast and a memory of malt sweetness. Uglyradio (773), Greenville, South Carolina, USA Jul 26, 2009 Copper color with a small white head...Malty aroma...Malty flavor with a light hop finish...Good pale ale... Berley31 (107), New Brunswick, Canada Jul 9, 2009 Bottle. Poured with a small, off-white head, that diminished to hardly anything at all. Body was mostly clear and sparkling, with a slight haze, and a beautiful dark-orange color. No real lacing to speak of. Aroma wasn’t anything special... lightly hoppy. Nice on the palate, with a light to medium body, slightly oily, and lively carbonation. Very nice flavor that starts off bitter and acidic, and finishes off... bitter, of course, but heavier hops than would have been expected. Overall, a very nice pale ale that I would easily drink again. Cletus (5001), Connecticut, USA Jul 1, 2009 Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of citrus and earthy. Tastes earthy and citrussy with a peppery finish. adavis234 (133), Columbia, South Carolina, USA Jun 9, 2009 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. Rustyham (545), miami, Florida, USA Jun 1, 2009 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. jjuf1853 (467), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA May 27, 2009 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. roder60 (1019), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA May 8, 2009 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.
