[1] Review by bluesandbarbq from Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA who has tried this beer once. (8/19/2008 8:44:18 PM)
"Pours a light amberish yellow with a thin white head and tons of nice lacing. Some carbonation. Aromas of caramel and malts, sweet brown sugar and very slight hops. Taste is bready with a sweet malty base and a brown sugar sweetness with very little hops."

[2] Review by RJA from Palm Springs, FL, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (7/27/2008 7:01:23 PM)
"Here’s a deep amber-orange beer. A moderate head sits on that body upon pour. Settles into a thin film. The smells mixes caramel with citrus-orange. The palate picks up on that caramel and sweet citrus adding some spice (cinnamon)
The mouthfeel has moderate carbonation and a crewaminess that makes this a nice drink."

[3] Review by beercronic from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada who has tried this beer once. (12/22/2007 11:51:32 PM)
"Poured out an orangy brown clear beer with an acceptable ammount of off-white head that leaves small spotty lacing. Lots of fruity aroma, caramel and burnt sugar. Some spice and possibly some alcohol. The taste is filled with mildly spicy hops and some burnt sugar and a weak fruit...but there is a notable alcohol burn...or is it the hops? Hard to tell as the flavour isn't all that great to start off with. Light medium bodied. Fairly smooth on the mouth while being very carbonated. After the not-so-good bitterness vanishes you are left with a bit of a chewy burnt sugar finish.

"Overall a very good beer. Appearance is light brown with a lacey head. Mouthfeel is smooth. Brew is pretty malty but overall has a very nice flavor and is a very drinkable beer."

[5] Review by kinger from North Canton, OH, USA who has tried this beer many times. (1/12/2007 10:54:19 AM)
"After reading the label and looking here I confirmed my initial suspician that this "English Pale Ale" had not been brewed in the mother country. What tipped me off initially was the fancy screw off cap which screamed DOMESTIC! Considering the value of this beer I was not upset that it's contract brewed here in the states but after sampling I got upset that apparantly this beer is rushed through production, this is indicitive of the extremely noticeable diacetyl aroma and flavor. Now the "buttery" affect from the diacetyl isn't completely offsetting to me, in fact I sort of enjoyed this taste in the brews I've sampled from Shipyard Brewing. It's very prominant and almost overpowering in this beer though. This one looks decent in the pint glass, nice copper color, small fizzy white head with decent lacing. Creamy and nicely satisfying mouthfeel. Lightly hopped even for an English Pale Ale, perhaps more hops would help offset the boring buttery flavor. One sixer and done for me."
