Golden ale with a thin white head. Intense blueberry pulp aroma, not chemical, fresh. In mouth, a crisp malt, with diacetyl and blue berry extract, like gum. Medium bodied. Refreshing. Mondial 2006.

bottle - Meh. Pours clear and yellowish with a head that very quickly fades to nothing. It smells like blueberries. Who would have thought? It tastes like blueberries. Big surprise there! There’s very little else in the flavor. This is like Shipyard’s weak, watery Summer Ale with some blueberries added. The finish is wet and kind of refreshing, but that’s about all I can say for it.

Best before Nov 2006 bottle consumed on 5/27/06. Sparkling apple-juice-like pour with a bit of rosy tangerine-peach tints. White head recedes to cover, then ring, with no lacing. Horribly filtered. Apricots, butter, plastic, paper, dry cardboard twirl about wickedly in the nose. Buttery flavor, strangely full of apricot with no beer behind it. Is this apricot flavored water? The beer is pure butter. More butter than I can rememeber tasting in a Shipyard beer (Peak Organic being a possible exception). Pure, stale, understated buttered popcorn. Not even overtly juicy butteriness, but just like a second-hand buttered popcorn Jelly Belly jelly bean. Really nutty and astringent and just overwhelmingly distinct. I hate you Shityard.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Candyshop aroma with notes of some sweet fruits. Flavour quite the same, but more to the direction of for instance Red Bull or Battery energy drinks. Only weak hints of malts and hops.

Has a deep amber colour with a tan coloured head that disappear quickly. It has a little fruity aroma of oranges and apricots. You can also smell the alcohol. Theflavor is bitter with alot of hops and alcohol with a hint of oranges and apricots. Not a bad beer, it has a good bitter taste.

Bottle courtesy of eRenner. Clear amber color with a medium thin white head and decent lacing. Very sweet aroma for an IPA, mostly caramel and malt. Medium body with earthy malt and floral hops flavors primarily, as well as a bit of citrus. The flavors seem a little unbalanced though. The finish is mildly bitter and fruity. Somewhat unique as far as IPAs go, however nothing stands out enough for me to feel like having this again.

Best Before March 2006 consumed on 10/20/2005. Colorful ruby-mahogany brown body with deep magenta-burgundy edges. Large, light-tan head. Well-retained. Smells of vanilla, hazelnut and mild cocoa. Dry, biscuity and crunchy. Kind of like weak dunkin donuts coffee with fake hazelnut sweetener in it. But in a good way. . .I think. Begins rather acidic with that obnoxious, sharp carbonation of Shipyard. Peanut brittle, hazelnuts, and lightly sour milk-chocolate. Kind of a fuzzy, papery peanut skin-like flavor on end. Tastes like some light American hopping as well. Floral and moderately bitter. Not too much hops flavor, but some leafy-greenness in the background. Body is medium. Annoying carbonation yet a slick texture otherwise. Needs real hazelnuts. Surprisingly not watery and the head is well-retained, no doubt because the beer is extremely fresh, which is the only way that anything Shipyard makes can be tolerable.
