3.2 beer is OK if you have flavor to go along with it. But this brew does not have eiether. I am sorry that shipyard felt the need to produce this

Part of a "Captain’s Collection" 12-pack. Pours a pale gold with a thin and quickly dissipating head. Aroma not half bad, similar to the smell of fresh lake water with some subtle fruit undertones. Flavor leaves a lot to be desired. Quite bland and slightly metallic. Brief undertone of frurtiness and freshly mown grass makes an appearance but does not linger enough to make it interesting. Mouthfeel is metallic and dry. Had much better from these folks.

Pale, pale, paleishly pale ambery color...no head of which to speak Aroma: clean...vapid...non-existent, really...lagery, with a trace of corn, if I’m not imagining it... Taste: none....oh, maybe a little, if I look really hard...here we go...mmMMMMM...okay...a trifle caramelly sweet, if only by a hair...finish vanishes rapidly ....positively no body, no texture I’m sorry this thing exists, and that anyone thought that it should, that any effort was wasted on production, design, promotion, ...it’s a waste..... Got this in a "The Captain’s Collection" sampler 12-pack, 3 of ’em...hey, who wants 2 bottles of nothing?

Nice golden color,small white foamy head that lasted for a short time then faded to leave little behind.Light sweet malt aroma with maybe some corn like qualities coming through and a bit of lemon with just a hint of hops.Fairly cerealish.The flavor is very light with just a mild malt some nice carbonation and a bit of hops.The cereal flavor comes through quite well,with a very mild sweet side and just over all fairly watery and thin as hell.It will make a nice hot summer cool down brew but if it’s flavor you want then search somewhere else because it’s not here.

Thanks to obeygiant for this one. Pours gold with a small, fizzy white head. Aroma of malt, slight hops and citrus. Tastes malty, corny, slightly hoppy. Light on the palate. Just average.

Pours yellow with a small white head. No scent to it really. Taste is water and metal. Nothing special. Stick with the other Shipyards.

Decent golden color and crisp, refreshing flavor. Overall, tastes like a slightly above average light - drinkable but nothing exceptional.

Draught, @ Federal Jacks, Kennebunk, Maine.</br> Golden larger styled beer. No head to speak of. Grainy, cheep aroma. Not much of a beer. Another lite bites the dust.
