After missing all the Mississippi Craft Beer Week events, I decided to see if I could track this down in a small southern town where seasonal beers are about as common as polar bears. On tap at Irie, and served in a traditional shaker glass.
A: Pours a completely clear golden color and arrived without a head at all. A very thin patch of film floated near the center, surrounded by a moderate white ring. Pretty decent lacing on the edges of the glass.
S: Grainy, pilsner malt, and maybe a hint of lemon. A slight malty sweetness toward the middle, but overall pretty muted and subdued. Smells a lot like a traditional pilsner.
T: Grainy and malty with a touch (and I mean a touch) of lemon and a sweetness that I originally likened to honey, but may be the Lychee fruit. The taste is a little more true to style than the smell was, but overall it's still pretty muted and is straddling the line between a Kolsch and a pilsner.
M: Light-bodied with quite a bit of carbonation; numerous streams of bubbles race each other to the surface. Light on the palate, though crisp and tingly. Not drying at all, which I found pleasantly surprising.
D: Very good drinkability, but considering the style, that's not surprising at all. Crisp and refreshing, making this a great summer beer to cool down with. That being said, it's muted in aroma and taste and, despite its functionality, it's pretty forgettable. I had high hopes, but this is probably the last time I'll order Ship Island.
