Bottle shared with Johan at his place to accompany a great meal of smoked sheep head 12.08.25. Clear golden. Refreshing aroma and taste of pale malt, pilsner malt, succade and refreshing hops. Very quaffable.

Tastes good, but tangy at the end. Meh.

5 oz draft. Very weak aroma of floral-ish hints. Flavor is not great. Mild floral and ends on a cooked vegetable note. I don’t know any craft beer drinkers that are buying Shipyard anymore. I’m not sure how this brewery staying afloat.

clear dark golden colour, moderate sized creamy ecru-ish off-white head; aroma of piney, citrusy, grassy, slight fruity and bread crusty notes; taste is similar to the aroma with some grape seeds; not bad
