Me like. Not the overpowering hopfest that runs around the country (not that there is anything wrong with that), but a restrained hoppiness that one would expect from an english pale. Well done.

Sampled in California suprisingly. Very nice and smooth beer. Aroma and appearance are just tame and kind of light. However the beer drinks really well and has a suprising flavor that is rich and lasting. A nice choice.

Weak, weak, weak. Im actually suprised that this beer is rated as high as it is. No real aroma, color or flavors here. Pretty much a boring, lightly hopped seltzer water with some coloring added. Dear hop heads.....avoid this one like the plague.

Just bought this one and a few other singles at a local store with quite a few craft beers. I generally haven’t been a big fan of Shipyard so I was pleasantly surprised when I liked this one. Pours a dark golden color with a moderate head. Not much in the way of aroma but is quite flavorful. Taste consists of a little malt, floral sweetness and a nice dry hoppy bite. Good solid Pale Ale and one of the better beers I’ve sampled from this company.

Bottle, Beer Ritz, Leeds. This was disappointing. Darkish amber with a small white head. Caramel malt was the overriding characteristic in both the aroma and flavour and not a whole lot else. Some bitterness in the finish. A bit on the average side.

Draft (at Geddy’s under the Moosebreath Name). Pours mild brown with dense notes of malt. You also get notes of caramel and toasted grains. The finish is a bit dry with a light amount fo bitterness.

Not a good represenation of a pale ale, matly and sweet, lacking hops. It reminds me a lot of the taste of a brown ale. It look really good when I poured it out of the bottle, a nice copper color with a large white head. it feels okay in the mouth. The finish is also malty and smells matly.
