Commercial Description:
Our light copper pale ale has a delicate malt attribute balanced by an aggressive hop flavor and aroma. Many American micros have developed their own version of this classic English style beer. Our brewers anticipate that you will enjoy their variation.

On tap @ ABC Harrisburg. Clear amber with an off white head. Mellow earthy hop aroma with some caramel scents. Sweet flavor with a bit of bitterness. More malt inclined beer and the hops didn’t seam like typical American hops. Not bad but tasted and smelled more like an English style.

Hazy orange, thick white head, lacing. Aroma of oranges, toffee and malt in general. Kind of an English Pale palate and nose. The palate was caramel, a bit of hops and dryness. Not bad, not great, a bit low on the hops for an American Pale.

Had on draft at gettysburg location. Pours a slightly hazy copper color with medium offwhite head. Aroma piney and slight caramel sweetness. Flavor is decently watery with and earthy caramel base and piney resiny dry hop finish.

Bottle pours a clear ambner with fair ring off off white head. Nose and flavor of fruity citrusy hops and some caramel backbone. More impressed than I expected to be, but nothing special.

Not particularly interesting but pretty well made. Tight nose gives up a little caramel. Lightly sweet flavor; meh.

Not sure why this beer has gotten a lackluster approval rating... It’s not a world-beater, but it’s not half bad. Decent caramel flavor with a well-balanced hop bitterness. Some citrus notes. It’s not for hopheads, and it’s a tad over-carbonated, but it tastes pretty good, and it’s got a nice depth to it.

Cloudy amber pour, medium head, medium lacing. Spicy piny aroma. Nice medium/high carb. Nice piny flavor, with a good amount of sweet candy, with a healthy piny/IPA bite. Some floral with a thick phlegmy mouthfeel.

Pours a clear, light copper color with a small white head. Aroma is a bit watery, small hop aroma. A little caramel malt taste, slightly bitter finish. Yawn.
