Apr 18, 2009 Poured a copper hue with a thin white head. Aroma was rather weak with some malt notes and a grainy note. Water was present in the aroma. Flavor was also mild but did have a slightly bitter grain note. It did not seem hoppy. Finish was smooth and light. Crisp summer beer.

Mar 31, 2009 Location: 6 pack of 12 oz bottles from a Morton Williams in NYC
Aroma: Citrus, caramel, grains
Appearance: Copper, clear, thin white head
Flavor: Grainy sweetness, a little caramel (stronger in the nose then the taste) and a citrus finish
Palate: Medium (tending toward light) body, nice smooth drink
Overall Impression:
Overall this is a decent springtime beer (though it was pretty cold in NYC last week). I guess its grouped as a specialty grain due to the rye taste, but otherwise I thought the labeling of copper ale was pretty accurate. Nice offering, will save a few for warmer days, and see how they do in that environment.

Mar 30, 2009 From bottle. Amber colour with a thin white lace. Honey in the aroma with a hint of malt. Bitter refreshing ale. Sweet tangy finish. Not bad.

Mar 27, 2009 On tap at the Mad Mex in Robinson. Nice and bubbly sparkling pale lager appearance. Not much detectable aroma. No bad olfactory on the nose. Interesting mild hop and new leather tastes. Barely any carbonation. Has a pleasant saison attitude about it. Decent well mannered finish, overall not bad!

Mar 27, 2009 Bottle: Deep orange golden with a wispy weak off white head. Some subdued, lightly perfumy hops with a grassy note and mild orangey citrus. Thin bodied- fizzy. Lightly sweet malt back in the flavor- a bit papery with some mild orange (cascade) hops, that seem stale. Perfumy, lean, with residual papery grain and an off astringency toward the finish of what seems like weird phenolics? Eh.

Mar 23, 2009 I enjoyed this beer. Nice color, nice body. Very dry and slightly bitter. I’m guessing Specialty grain means ’Rye’. Since that seems to be the popular opinoin. Either way, I like it. It’s nice to see something new from Blue Point as well as be available outside of the brewery.
