Shipyard Prelude Special Ale Style: Winter warmer
ABV: 6.8 percent
Price: $10 per six-pack
The beer: Prelude pours the color of Grade B maple syrup — which is appropriate, since maple is present in both the taste and the aroma. Nutmeg and caramel notes arise too in what is essentially a spiced brown ale. Bold and malty, this ranks among Shipyard’s finest offerings.
