Shipyard Brewing Company

Portland, ME

Shipyard Blue Fin Stout
Stout - 4.7% ABV
Pete
     Good stout. Strong coffee flavor, smooth. It is surprisingly light for a stout.

Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's

Shipyard Chamberlain Pale Ale
Pale Ale - 4.9% ABV
Pete
     I was quite a few deep when I had this, but I had saved in my phone one simple note: "Good picture, bad beer." Enough said.

Shipyard Export
Blonde Ale - 5% ABV
Pete
     This beer has a bit of an off taste to it, especially in the aftertaste. It was OK going down, but the aftertaste was so bad.
​*Note - This beer may have been skunked (hopefully, it sure tasted like it) when I drank it, so don't take this review too seriously. I would say I'll get it again to test it, but I can't promise that.

Shipyard Fireberry Tiesta Tea
Tea Beer - 4.3% ABV
Pete
     Tastes like iced tea. Delicious and refreshing.

Shipyard GingerbreadHead
Winter Ale - 4.6% ABV
Pete
     This reminded me more of banana bread than gingerbread, but hey, I like both of those things. It was good, but it didn't really blow me away. I generally don't like winter beers, but calling this a winter beer is a bit of a stretch.

Shipyard IPA
IPA - 5.8% ABV
Pete
     I had to dump this one out.

Shipyard Longfellow Winter Ale
Winter Ale - 5.8% ABV
Pete
     I don't like winter ales in general, and I hate almost all Shipyard beers. This one was doomed from the start for me. If you like any Shipyard beers other than the Pumpkin, feel free to give this one a try, otherwise, avoid.

Shipyard Monkey Fist IPA
IPA - 6.9% ABV
Pete
     The one is a rare hit from Shipyard. It goes down mildly sweet with a light bitter aftertaste.

Shipyard Old Thumper
Ale - 5.6% ABV
Pete
     I have no idea what to say about this beer. After drinking 3, I couldn't tell you what it tastes like, or even what style of beer it tastes like. I did enjoy it though.

Shipyard Prelude
English Ale - 6.8% ABV
Pete
     This beer is not very good. It has some flavor, but it isn't very good flavor. It does have one redeeming quality-high alcohol content. Flavor for alcohol, we can call it even.

Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's

Shipyard Pumpkinhead
Pumpkin Beer - 5.1% ABV
Pete
     This is a pretty good pumpkin beer. It isn't good enough to make up for the rest of their beers.

Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's

Shipyard Smashed Pumpkin
Imperial Pumpkin Beer - 9% ABV
Pete
     Very sweet with a lot of pumpkin flavor. Finishes a tiny bit boozy, but that helps offset the sweetness. Really good beer.
