The Shipyard Ale is a non-traditional, full bodied American Red Ale. The warm coppery orange color, combined with distinctive wheat malt flavors and hoppy characteristics, are sure to please most anyone. Winter Ale is made up of 5 different malts and 5 different hops, creating a complex flavor.
Note: This is also Shipyard Nitro which can be found during the winter months at Federal Jacks Brew Pub

On draught in the terminal of the Orlando airport. This was the seasonal offering in the sampler I tried. Dark amber color with a thin off-white head. Minimal lacing. Aroma is mostly caramel with some malt and spices. Not too rich in body, and I liked the balance. Malt character is balanced out by the hops and spices. The finish is smooth and malty as well. Pretty good.

Amber color. Good body structure, malty and well equilibrated by the hop. Quite a strong caramel character. The aroma is ordinary, maybe too light.
I would believe it's stronger than 5% ABV.
Probably the best beer I could find during this stay in Orlando.
