Sep 1, 2009 Bottle from a local Grocery Outlet store. Pours copper with not much white head. Aromas of lightly roasted malt and some fruity/citrus hop. Medium body with sharpish carbonation. Flavor is light roast caramel, and a fair amount of spice - like grassy/citrus hop. Nicely bitter. Spicey enough to make it enjoyable. Finishes with a touch of light fruit. Better than a number of Lion Brewery productions.

Aug 25, 2008 Orangey gold, decent sized white head. More malty than hoppy in both the nose and flavor. Some caramel notes and some biscuity flavors, too. OK, I guess, but rather uninspiring. Contract brewed in Wilkes-Barre, PA.

Mar 15, 2009 The first element in the aroma is sweet malt with a bit of a metallic bite. There is also some grassy hops. The appearance is gold with an amber hue. The head blows up pretty fast and falls even faster. The flavor is really well balanced between sweet malt and hops. The palate is really smooth from carbonation. I was really thirsty when I drank this beer and it was very refreshing and quite flavorful at the same time. It’s not a standout beer but it’s a very solid one.

Jan 19, 2009 Crystal clear light amber pour thin white head and no lace. Caramel malts on the nose. Watery thin mouth-feel. Bland flavor mostly malts needs some more hop flavor/bitterness to balance it out.

Sep 2, 2009 This copper ale poured with a decent off-white head and a fruity aroma. There is a hearty roasted malt flavor with a bit of carbonation and hop bitterness. A mediocre pale ale, but it’s drinkable.
