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.

Cash @ Market Cross, Shippensburg: Aroma was very frust of hops and some ale fruitiness. Hops were slightly citrussy. Very reminicent of well hopped bitter, accept the hops were slightly more resiny. Served at perfect temperature and in good condition. Came off the hand pump with half an inch of creamy head (sparkler) and a beautiful tawny color in between gold and amber. Really a beauitul looking beer. Mouthfeel was amazing because of the cask conditioning, medium body and just filled the mouth with flavor. This was an excellent pale on cask, I guess I’ll need to compare it sometime to see why it is such a low rated beer. On cask though, its excellent. Its one of those beers I had to go back and have another of right away at the pub

Yet another good american pale ale (I'm seeing a trend here). Nothing spectacular, just a well made, decent APA.

12oz bottle - pours with a huge off-white head that stands for a long time. Deep copper color, with a big citrusy nose. Mouthfeel was so-so, but OK for the style. If you looked in an encyclopedia under "American Pale Ale", you’d see a picture of this beer. Well done!

on tap-pours a creamy, retaining light tan head with copper color. Aroma is citrus, mild hops. Taste is mellow medium hops, secondary medium malt. Mild carbonation.

One of the best beers from Appalachian. A little bit wattery, but very drinkable. Nice light brown head, and smooth taste.
