Summer Ale from Shipyard Brewing Company
22 years ago
4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 3 Flavor 4 Texture 6 Overall 3
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.

Pours amber with a small head. You can almost smell hops there. Small hop flavor goes along with small hop aroma. There are better out there.

Paid $4.99 for a 6-pack. Brownish amber with a large head. Sweet berry in the nose, slightly spiced winterish berry flavor, with a large bitter orange/lemon-rind aftertaste. A decent brew, but not really "big."

This is a decent looking beer, and the smell isn't bad, but the taste and mouthfeel are nothing special at all. The aftertaste is a moderate bitter that I didn't care for, and on my own personal scale, I gave it a 4/10. This isn't a beer that I'd care to have again.

2003 bottle. American wheat my ass. This is more like an English Strong. Very malty, lots of fruit but more of a dry sense. Has a big brownish black pour with a good amount of yellow beige head. Big sweet malty smell. Candied sugar?? Very little bitterness, and almost out of balance, but not quite. Has a round, sweet maple/sugar sweet caramle flavor. To think this is in the same class as Oberon. . . .

6.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 3.5
This is a nice light tasting brew. Good dark golden color with a nice haed that lasts for a little while. The taste is more like a pale ale than a wheat. Overall a good hop flavor. Comes in a 12 pack box and each bottles label has a different genral from the Civil War.

2003 Bottle (10th Anniversary):
Perfect copper colour with a nice soapy tan/off-white coloured head. Aroma of strong hops, caramel, malt and some light spices. Medium-bodied; Medium strength maltiness added to a slight hoppiness and a very light spiceyness. Aftertaste fades very quickly and leaves just about nothing on the palate. Drying character near the finish, but thats about it. Tastes are minimal for this one, not showing any strong points about it, and definately not showcasing the style at all. I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Beers of the World in Rochester, New York and sampled it on 07-December-2003.
