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.

Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Sugar aroma with caramel malts and citrus hops. Flavor is also sweet with caramel malts, and citrus and floral hops. Overall not bad but not that great either.

Bottle 355ml
Appearance: straight clear amber with rater larger foamy top. Little lace.
Nose: crystal malt with average hop feel, sugary dusty sweetness. 5+
Flavor/Palate : Medium bodied with thinner sides. Slight hint of English character all covered up with sweet malts that don’t match to well with style. Bit too sweet. Washed up finish.
