Shipyard Export Ale

Brewed by Shipyard Brewing Company
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Portland, Maine USA

Very average. Aroma is like cheap perfume. Flavor is harsh. This is really pretty poor. Maybe one of the worst beer’s I’ve had recently.

Appearance: transparent, pale amber hue, head starts out big and fluffy creamy white, dies down quick. Aroma: Dry, clean, at first, but further investigations brings out a little citrus, and a touch of fruity, even piney hops. But that’s stretching the nostrils quite a bit! Good frontal feeling on the palate, a nice, though brief show of hops, then mellow and smooth. Light body, to the point of "watery". Tasty, but it sinks below the watery, thin mouthfeel too easily. Texture’s not bad, but over too quickly. A malty sweet feeling rings through the taste, but doesn’t redeem the overall emptiness. A fine "light ale", a decent session brew for the less discerning, but I’ll pass, thanks!

Draught. Golden color, very carbonated. Soapy-white head. Light haze, smells of perfume. Taste is fruity with a nice hop finish. At least it isn’t boring.

Clear golden liquid. Barely any head. Good malty nose. Somwhat faintly sweet malt taste. Minimal hops. Somewhat thin on flavor and texture. Decent beer overall.

Really nice golden color with a faint (almost Bud?) nose. Some malty but more sweet in the flavor with a dry, hoppy finish as promised in the commercial description. Average as average can be.

Okay tasting beer. Very good taste but a very bitter after taste. Overall okay but the aftertaste is very harsh.

An average, mediocre beer all around. Flavor is well balanced but too subtle. Needs more punch to help it stand out from the crowd.

Thanks to obeygiant for this. Pours deep gold with a big, creamy, white head and lots of carbonation. Aroma of malt, some hops, and citrus. Tastes malty, with a hoppy, slightly dry, citrusy finish. Medium mouthfeel.
