Bottled (BBE 2005)
Nut brown, small white head. Mild toffee-sweetish aroma, lightly hoppy. Medlum-bodied. Malty with gently hops in the finish. Almost more like a pilsener than an ale/bitter kind of beer.

From Bottle, average sized, white head, lots of lacing. Hoppy aroma with hints of lemon. Light nutty, caramel flavor at first turning to a hoppy lemon taste. A good one from Shipyard.

Re-rate Feb 11th 2006 <P> Aroma is spritzy and musty like the pages of an old book. Pale golden color with a thumb thick, fluffy white head. Bready/malty fore with a hint of grape fruitiness. Finish is spritzy and very lightly hopped. I really like this one as a session beer though and feel it has a little more depth that the ratings give it credit for. <P> Original rating
Somewhat musky, musty aroma. Poured real nice. Pale gold with a very fluffy white head. Sweet malt and cereal flavor. Somewhat thin, but not excessively so. I am at a loss as to the low rating because I think this is a top notch beer.

Strangely delicious! Canadian ale? What does that mean? Tasty, slightly candy like but in a good way. Would go great with food.

Bought this 12oz bottle at Total Wine in Manassas, VA. Pours a clear amber color with an OK sized head. FIzzled a little bit. No lacing either. Deep malt and hop balance in the aroma. Good balance in the taste. Sweet and herbal as well. My first beer from Shipyard and they did a fine job with this.

Golden color, light amber Decent aroma of malts and hops. Decent in taste as well, more of the same. Fair. Better than their pumpkin beer, which is the only other Shipyard brew I’ve had.

Dark gold body topped with a fair white head. Average malty/hoppy aroma that lacks complexity. Taste has some sweet and herbal notes. Nice hoppy finish. This is a decent everyday ale.

Good stuff. I really like ale, but after 14 beers tonight, I have a hard time measuring.
