Boat Beer is designed to be complex enough to merit drinking a few without being crippled by alcohol. Kolsch yeast and German malts are combined to be crisp and refreshing, while a generous amount of American hops have been added to keep it remarkable. Expect it to dance out of the glass with a whack of grapefruit and open into a crisp, stony tangle of white and yellow fruit with pine and moss notes. An IPA for everyday drinking, drink boat beer when you are thirsty from softball, fishing, or explaining why your team is best.

Hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is clean hops, citrus, fruity, lightly sweet. Decently carbonated body. Flavor is fruity, citrus, lightly herbal, sweet, a bit tropical. Shocked by this one. 4.2% and packed with this much flavor and a balanced hop profile. One of the best session style beers I’ve had.

Update 9/10/14 - Now that it is canned, this has become a go-to for me, and the rating deserves an update. It's a wonderful session beer for the pool or a BBQ. (4.2: 8/4/8/5/17)
Location: Draft at Brass Rail, 12/28/12
Aroma: The nose is citrusy, with some German yeast, grapefruit, grass, pine, and grainy notes
Appearance: Pours a hazed yellow color with a frothy white head that coats the glass in lace
Flavor: The flavor is mid-sweet, it has crisp, clean flavors, with a nice medium bitter finish
Palate: The body is light-medium, it drinks really cleanly, not watery at all, rather refreshing
Overall Impression: I was really rather impressed by this one. It has most everything I look for in a "boat beer.". I don't think they can this, but if they did, a cooler full of this would be great for any tailgate, boat trip, or the like. Well done! Original Rating: 3.9: 7/4/8/4/16

Draft at Gingerman. Pours cloudy yellow gold with bone white head. Nose is lemon zest, bread and piny hops. Taste is similar but with more lemon bread with some pine hop finish. Medium body. Great session beer.
