Bottled. Pours a medium amber color with a small off-white head. Aroma is malty and a little spicy. Malt and a slight hop bitterness up front. Sort of a plastic flavor going on. Seems a little watered down.

22 oz. bottle from BevMo - Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a 1/2 finger off white head. Very light spotty lacing. Has a noble hop, esters, and toasted malt aroma. Flavor is toasted malt and esters. Light to medium body. Watery palate. An OK beer.

22oz bottle from BevMo. 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. My favorite beer from Shipyard by far!

Amber with a healthy head this beer has a decent malt backbone that is combined finely with malt to produce a simple, but acceptable harmony for a moderately tasty amber ale.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours copper with a white head. Aroma hops and caramel malt. Flavor was bitter, sweet, and caramel. Not bad picked up while in Vermont visiting micro breweries.

Pours clear copper with a decent sized head, good aroma floral hop and caramel malt aroma, decent flavor hints of hops and a very well blended flavor of sweet malts, not a typical pale ale, i enjoyed this, and would drink it again, full bodied, tastes stronger than 4.8%.

Clear coppery hue, modest head formation. Creamy toffee aroma, toasty malt, mild fruity hop spice. Hoppy, citrussy, spicy palate, plenty of bite especially in the finish. Toasted, mildly biscuity malt. Pretty much in the English pale ale mold.
