Jun 22, 2006 Bottle. Pours golden with medium white head. Aroma is sweet, slightly hoppy. Flavor is overly sweet, slightly malty, bit thin in finish. Hmmm, tastes like all of the other shipyard beers I’ve had.

Jan 15, 2006 (22 oz. bottle) Pours a light amber with a biscuit head. Weak malt aroma. Pretty good lacing. Mouthfeel OK, slightly thin. Taste: mostly bitter, kind of sharp, finishes a little yeasty. Passable, on the bitter side, not much else for flavor. Fine bottle depicting Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, 20th Maine Volunteer Regiment, USA.

Sep 30, 2004 Ok, so IMO, Shipyard brews a great Longfellow Ale, the Old Thumper, BlueFin Stout, and the Fuggles IPA are solid and above average…. Other than that I’ve always thought that the Shipyard beers are a step above Sam Adams but nothing very exciting. Then tonight I had a bomber of this Chamberlains Pale Ale…. F-ing Loved It!
This is a English Style PA with a nip of American hop addition… really nice work! Pours copper body with a thick ivory head. The aroma is a woodsy earthy citric hop and a note of brown sugar & caramel. A toasty malt likeness and somewhat biscuity… palate was rich and lush…. Chamberlain takes second, under Longfellow, in my lineup of Shipyard brews… truly impressed with this English PA!
I will have NO trouble talking this beer up to my accounts!
