Day 210, February 8

The Offering:  Shipyard Export Handcrafted Ale, American Blonde Ale. Shipyard Brewing Co. Maine USA

ABV: 5.1%

Interesting brew. A lot of berry on the nose and mouth. The nose has some apricot kind of like magic hats #9. The mouth is more blueberry on the front end and raspberry on the finish. It's a pleasant fruit though with some great bitter hop qualities. I find this especially interesting because berry is not mentioned anywhere on the bottle so it probably wasn't intended which is great. A lot of brews will add berry extract to get the desired berry flavor which always comes up a bit short. This is all through the brewing process. Interesting brew and pretty tasty. I recommend it.

Points: 87

Thanks to Katie

Cheers
