Tap Handle #287: Shipyard - Summer Ale

I like this tap. It's got some really nice little touches - the lobster is sitting in a deck chair - or is it a lifeguard's chair? It's got sunglasses on, and its little legs are holding a beach towel that says "Shipyard". Very whimsical.

Shipyard Summer Ale is a traditional America wheat beer that is less assertive than its Bavarian counterparts, and is available as a summer seasonal. An inviting golden color, mellow malted wheat flavor and less hoppy characteristics are sure to please those looking a clean, cool taste sensation on long, hot summer days. It was first brewed in 1995. Recommended food pairing is seafood (hence the lobster). Weighted average on ratebeer.com is 2.75 out of 5.
