Jun 9, 2008 Beer of the Month Club Selection (May 2008): Poured from the bottle into a pint glass. Pour produced a hazy copper body topped with a large off-white head (did pour to bottom of glass as opposed to side for maximum head creation and release of aroma.) Some skunkieness with some hops notes. Bittersweet flavor with a medium body. Palate is dry with some maltiness and light hopping, leaving a slight bitter hops aftertaste. Other than the afterbite of the hops, there really isn’t much that says "drink me!" Well... other than the fact that it’s beer... but not much after that...

Jun 8, 2008 Tap, as Rock Bottom Singletrack Copper Ale. Copper pour, thin white head that sticks to the glass. Hard to catch an aroma in a stinky airport restaurant. Nice hop finish with a malty start. Not an outstanding beer, not a bad beer either.

May 31, 2008 Bottle. Amber pour with medium tan head. Aroma of malt and hops. Taste of sweet malt and flowery hops with a slightly bitter finish. Call this one an American Pale light. Good session brew.

May 27, 2008 12oz bottle from a beer club. A decent session beer from this inconsistent brewery. Pleasant and bright pour with moderate carbonation and a thin head. The nose isn’t too cloying and sweet, thankfully, and the malts come across as mildly bready. Once you get into the beer, it’s also fairly well hopped and gives the brew a lively and sessionable quality. Not bad.

May 26, 2008 Bottle into English pint glass. Pours a clear, bright copper with a mid-volume, fizzy head, although it fades quickly. Aroma is faint versions of the usual suspects: caramel-y and toasty malts, hoppy citrus. Not enough to impress, unfortunately. Flavor follows the aforementioned pattern: a poor balance of bitter hops, toasty malts and citrus-floral blah. All too much of the bitter for the other flavors. Palate was astringent and thin. I like ambers, and this one wasn’t actually bad, but it just wasn’t all that good, either. I have another to drink and maybe it will make a better impression.
