The Maine Black Bear has a long, fruitful relationship with the state of Maine as the mascot of the University, and this brew is in homage to this fruit loving American native.
Brewed with Rye Crystal malt, Shipyard Rye has a spiced, nutty taste balanced with caramel toffee flavours. As with all Shipyard beers, this brew is packed full of American hops and the Amarillo, Citra, Cascade, and Summit combine for an upfront punchy orange aroma and lingering citrus tangy

Draft @ Woodin's Shade, London. Clear dark amber feat a tiny white head. Aroma of grapefruits, lemons and rye. Taste is citrus fruits, grains and a little bit of biscuits. Moderate bitterness. Low carbonation. Tasty and very refreshing. Would drink regularly if given the chance.

From bottle at Kings Fee in Hereford, Herefordshire, with OGJ 02.01.18. Clear orange amber. Persistent, but uneven, beige head and lacing. Aroma and taste of Sevilla marmalade and pale malt. Good drinkability.

Bottle, gift from Mum and Dad - cheers! Deep amber with a cream-coloured head and a slightly too aggressive fizz. Rye spiciness to the fore followed by malt and marmalade. Just let down slightly by a hint of granite. Better than expected though for a supermarket bottle; it's a pretty tasty brew.

Taste is medium sweet malt and rye, some caramel and toffee, moderate tropical and citrus fruity hops, medium bitterness, dryish finish. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Decent stuff. (bottle)
