The word ale without the word brown in front of it usually makes me nervous. However, with Spring here, and winter seasonal's on sale, I felt that I should broaden my horizons.
Shipyard is from Portland,Maine, and makes a great Pumpkin beer. Shawn and I will be taking our families to Maine, this summer and I hope to visit the Shipyard brewery. After drinking their special ale, I hope that they still have some on hand when we arrive!
This was a really good beer. It didn't taste like a typical winter seasonal. It just tasted like a really good smooth beer. It was sweet and malty, with a toffee and caramel taste. There were some mild brewing spices that came at just the right time, with a light crisp finish.
This was more of an amber ale tasting beer to me. I thought it was good. As much as I look forward to warm weather, this one makes me ready for winter again.
