Shipyard Light

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

suprising nice for a "light" beer. very iffy for a full blown ale. Had a decent amount of flavor for the style and finished well.

This brew poured a very small head of finely sized quickly disappearing bubbles that left a softly carbonated yellow orange colored body behind. Its aroma was very mildly malted and its mouthfeel was smooth and mildly bubbly. Its flavor ewas thin and mildly hopped.

This stuff is WEAK! Don't waste your money on this if you are a Bud Light or Coors Light Drinker. It almost seems like the wash water from when they are cleaning out the brew kettles. No character whatsoever!

Kinda funny...a light house on a light beer. heh. anyways... i found this to be very watery and with only a very slight hoppy taste. for light beers it's ok, but otherwise, it's not worth drinking.

Light gold color with quickly gone white head, massively carbonated. Some sour grassiness in the nose, smell of old rubberbands and hot electric range...odd I know, but you'll see what I mean! Ew... watery and lifeless (except for carbonation). Not much taste at all, really... some grassiness at the end, but mostly dull water. Not even corn(thank god) comes through in this one. One of the lightest beers I've ever had.

On draught in the terminal of the Orlando airport. How cool is that? You don't have to feel guilty at all for drinking beer at 9AM if it is in an airport and you are waiting for a plane. The beer is typical brewpub light fare. Pours a golden color with a thin white head and mild effervescence. Aroma is lightly hoppy. Light in body with a mild hops flavor and aftertaste. Decent for what it is.

Draught
Blond color. Light malt aroma. Too watery in the mouth, the palate as well. just a little better than the average light beer.

This is my least favorite micro, nevermind that its from one of my favorite breweries. Hoppy water, no body, over-carbonated, watery finish. I wish they would stop putting these in their Captains Collections, they might sell more.

First of all, this is a light ale, not a light lager, though it bears some resemblance to other beers of the Light style. However, this doesn’t smell and taste like corn, and there is a considerable hop presence, though without a solid malt base (due to the process used in making light beer), it tastes unbalanced and artificial. Its also a decent color and isn’t overcarbonated. Not bad, actually, by far the best example I’ve had of a style I just don’t care for that much.
