bottle - Pours yellow-gold and clear with a thin head. This is a wheat beer? It looks like a pale lager, just slightly darker perhaps. It smells little different from a pale lager with just some light malt notes. It doesn’t even taste much different than a pale lager. Wheat? The flavor is very light and the body fairly thin. The finish is crisp. At least it’s refreshing, but this is just a terribly boring beer. I wasn’t expecting an intense brew from a summer ale, but I still want some flavor.

Pour is a bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma is citrus and lemon. Flavor is a bit of banana with some wheat in there. Nothing really stands out though but this is refreshing on a very hot summer day.

2004 draught at KBC in Maine. Pours a mostly light, not hazy golden color, with a small fleeting head. Aroma of light, sharp yeast, hints of spice and sweetness. Flavor is quite sweet, very lacking in the wheat department, though it isnt altogether watery. Light citrus notes interupted by the lemon garnished with the beer. Served at an exceedingly cold temperature. Decent grainy body, light and drinkable, but nothing worth paying much attention to. 5/2/5/3/12
Not sure why I am even bothering to rerate this but anyways, had a 2005 bottle on 5/21/2005 with Muzzlehatch. Same appearance from the bottle, citrus and some light pale malt, lightly bitter on end, with no real wheat elements. Typical hard flavor, from the forced carbonation. Highly filtered. Slightly tangy in the nose, some light pale malts. Horribly boring. 4/2/5/2/8

An unclear amber beer with a small head. The aroma is sour hoppy with notes of burnt rubber. The flavor is sweet malty with a dry hoppy end. A boring flavor and the burnt rubber in the nose destroys the experience.

Pale amber colour. Moderate head. Sweetish aroma with a hint of raw onion. Sweet, somewhat hoppy and rather thinnish. Not one of The Shipyard's greater moments.
