Shipyard Brewing Export Ale
The newest Ale of the day comes from Shipyard Brewing in Portland, ME. The Export Ale is a smooth yet uninspired beverage that goes down smooth and leaves you with a very unsatisfied feeling. I actually downed the entire six pack in one evening and even at a rated 5.1% alcohol I felt hardly buzzed by the time I finished. Granted, I’m sure I could not go and drive at this point, which is worrisome. This drink is very deceptive and leaves you needing more, even after a few, which quite easily could lead to someone getting much more intoxicated than you think, and next thing you know you have ended up in jail. I’ll have to give some of their other beers a try as it seems this one just doesn’t fit my style, but they specialize in Ales so I would hope at least one of their products would tweak my palette.
