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.

Rating #1083 from the bottle. Thanks to my dad for bringing this one to me. Deep copper, hazy with good carbonation and a medium short lasting frothy head. Nose is faint, grains hops and copper. Taste is more present with more copper, tart and dirty.

Dissappointing for a Pale Ale, with a lot of fizz and not much hops at all. Color was Ok, just not much

Poured a lightly hazed golden color with a medium off-white head. Aged caramel and citrusy hop. Malty with apricots, aged quality and some light hops. Light to medium body. Thanks for trade JB.

Very bland pale ale. Good color and head. Not much hoppy flavor but it was at least smooth.

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.
