(bottle) If only I’d known that not just one of these but three would be found in the Shipyard ’Captains Collection’, I would have left the Captain for someone with weaker tastes. Pours almost clear, takes on a light straw color in glass. Tiny white fizzy head bubbles itself into oblivion in a matter of seconds. Smell barely elicits a response in nose, bearing a hint of stale bread. Body is light on the palate, and only slightly less watery than expected. Slight flavor of sourdough leaves my tongue bored and repulsed. I guess I just don’t understand the point of light beer.

12 oz bottle. Ridiculous massive white frothy head...golden quite bubbly body, looks force-carbonated...meek grainy nose offers little...flavor of light honey, lackluser sodden cereals, somewhat stale.

Bottle: pours yellow with a small white diminishing head. Light aroma of apples and grapes. Flavor is crisp and quite dry. Small fruitiness. Good for what it is. Low carb and low calorie and a good alternative to BMC lights.

Very thin, failry bland. It tastes like it’s missing something, like flavor. No wonder I can buy it for 50 cents a bottle and I got a free tshirt that says Shipyard Light too, anyone want a free tshirt? Probabally the worst beer I’ve ever had.

This is basically a boring and bland beverage. It has alcohol, which gives it some points and there is a slight maltyness in the flavor and a hint of hops in the meager finish. I note flavors of buttered corn and a hint of butterscotch. Ahhh, It’s Drinkable… but not great!

Pours a one-fingered bubbly, white head that goes very quickly and leaves no lace. Clear pale yellow color. Light carbonation and very light bodied. Starts with a sweet citrus flavor, watery, finish is boring but this has more flavor than a Bud Light and less than a Sam Adams Light. Typical session beer. 83¢ for a 12oz bottle from Cumberland Farms Convenience Greenland, NH.

Definitely light beer, especially in the taste department. It literally tastes watered down, and the only flavor is alot of malt. I thought it would be ok considering some of Shipyard’s other products, but I guess light beer is light beer.

Very unpleaseant beer, I too am sorry that Shipyard felt the need to brew a beer of this nature, it’s pale & straw colored, some bubbly & over-carbonated head, but it quickly disappeared to absoutely nothing after a very short time, the pouring of the beer sounded exactly like pouring a soda, mostly absent nose, only a small hint of a corn-type aroma, very light body, thin, watery, flavors were thin & watery as well, just a touch of malt profile but not much, this beer had very little to offer
