Shipyard Chamberlain Pale Ale

Received a single 12-oz bottle from oetiii in Antigo, WIsconsin. Pours a clear copper amber brew with a thick off-white and lumpy head that has some good retention and spotty lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, some ice tea, orange zest and a touch of Ivory soap. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonation with flavors of semi-sweet caramel malt, dried pears and apples, with a light herb hops flavor. Finish is a good balance of dryness and fruity character with a light bitterness in the background.

22oz bottle-An amber body with a nice white head and an aroma of malt and slight hops. Taste fairly weak in the hops but it is an English Pale Ale. Not very impressed.

Honey amber with thick, white creamy head. Light aroma of sweet malts. Smooth hops, fruitsand caramel. smooth and easy drinking. Not bad at all.

Amber body with a rocky tan head. Skunky, grassy aroma. Somewhat bland with a stale hoppiness in the flavor; sticky sweet finish.

Bottle... Poured orange with a white head. Spicy hop aroma. Soapy hops up front with a caramel-malt balance, kind of a grainy, bread-like presence as well which gives it some depth. This pale ale is hoppier than their IPA.

12 oz, bb Jan 08. Clear orange-copper with a smallish, lasting head. Caramel-butterscotch with some earthy, tea leaf and slight orange marmalade aroma. Initial taste of malt is quickly balanced by bitter, nutty, earthy and roasted flavors. Turns to a crisp apple, caramel, and bitter green herb flavor on the finish. Dry, tingly, astringent and light bodied.

Pours honey colored w/ a tall, lasting head and lace. Mild aromas of leathery malts. Medium nectar w/ good carbonation. A balanced specimen w/ mild attributes. The finish is bittered nicely. A good session brew.

Bottle shared with GregClow, Hogtown Harry, Blankboy, and Jerc, courtesy of me via Big Red and K. Dark yellow, small white head. Mild aroma of caramel malt. Mild malt taste as well. Almost borders on o Canadian cream ale sort of thing - not bad, just ok.
