Brewed by Marston's, in collaboration with Shipyard Brewing Co. Initially in 2010, as a special (Revisionist American Pale Ale), then as a regular from May 2013, in an extension of the breweries' 15-year pan-Atlantic collaboration. Shipyard started brewing their own version, following Marston's recipe, in 2014.

Dry hopped with real American hop varieties that deliver a refreshing, easy drinking true American pale ale. Take a moment to enjoy!

Shipyard American Pale Ale is a versatile beer style that actually makes a perfect partner to most meals. Citrus flavours work perfectly to complement rich grilled or BBQ meats, spiced foods, fajitas or chilli’s and also some bold cheeses too. The fruity character also means that our American Pale Ale is equally at home paring with more delicate flavour seafoods like lobster or crab. Brewed and packaged in the UK.

500ml bottle. Clear, orange golden colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Floral hoppy and pale malty aroma, a touch of chamomile, non alcoholic-like, yeasty doughy overtones. Taste is floral hoppy and minimally spicy, pale malty, a touch of daisy and chamomile. Slightly oily, watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Floral, not overly complex - decent thirst quencher.

Bottled 500ml. -from Lidl Krško. Darker golden coloured, medium sized white to off-white head, herbal nose with whiff of caramel. Sweet malty, caramel, quite strong herbal and floral with quite (almost harsh) bitter finish.

A little worse than average. Old school east coast bitter pale ale. A bit harsh since the livliness of these bottles has died out. Likely 11 months old. Kellys ams

Golden pour with a small white head. Aromas of citrus and tropical fruits, a hint of malt. Taste is similar, but adding some hops. Overall alright for a oub session, given the alternatives on offer.

Pint @ 02 Institute, Birmingham watching Lemonheads and Bass Drum of Death. Watery, lagery with very distant citrus hop notes. Very disappointing.

Metallic aroma, very little flavour worth mentioning, maybe this was a bad bottle
