Crap that is a light ale- 3.25%? This is like near beer. Very watery, but not bad. Some nice slight malty flavor. Mostly just a good summer drinking beer. A decent beer compared to other american lights.

I am a fan of all Shipyard brews and this one did not dissapoint me.Was hard to tell it was a light beer.Pours a golden color with a foamy head that dissapates quickly.The finish was clean with very little aftertaste

Pours a medium yellow, straw colored mostly clear and bubbly, decent foamy white head. Smells of mild malt and a bit of spicy hops. Opens up very clean and medium sweet, good clean barley malt, very distinguishable flavors. Moderately soft palate, slightly peppery at times. Balance is great, low alcohol does not seem to be a problem for flavor. Finishes with a nice mild fruity hops, definitely some peach and pear in there.

Slightly hazy golden colour with a thin white head. Light sweet aroma of peaches and pears with some additional malt. Light-bodied; Sour initial taste of fruit followed by some maltiness. Aftertaste finisehd without any offensive flavours, just a mild showing of malt and sweetness. Overall, fairly good for the style...good taste and flavour! I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York and sampled it on 01-November-2003.

Has a golden color with some carbonation and a light malt smell. Taste is also lightly malted and finishes with little bitterness. Overall a pretty boring beer.

Boy, I don’t know what my problem is, but I rather liked this beer. It was light (of course) and easy to drink. It had an almost wheat beer flavor to it and very little bitterness. I would not mind having it again...

Golden slightly cloudy color.Little to no aroma.Mostly a grassy smell. A little hop flavor but overall pretty weak. I guess it is a light beer? Finish is tart and a little watery.

Tart ale and somewhat lagerish aroma. Tannish gold, with a lousy label with a font that looks like it was stolen from a 70's B-movie. Moderately tart, dry, well-brewed hops make it a little vegetable and brothy. Medium tart finish, OK fizz, a little watery.
